• I am experiencing a problem with my site in that it is offline and the message “Welcome to the famous five minute WordPress installation process!” appears when I try to log on to my Admin. Control Panel. The site worked one minute then gone the next. I am running the latest version of WP. I’ve called my web host and reported the trouble. After an hour and a half the engineer is convinced that it is on the WP end. I’ve back up my site to my desktop. Any ideas what may be causing this? Thanks so much!

    whats in your index.php

    Thread Starter 760715

    When I click on index.php all I get is:

    “Not Found

    The requested URL http:// was not found on this server.”

    Thats not what I am asking, what exactly is in your index.php (the code?)

    Thread Starter 760715

    This is what I’ve got:
    <?php
    /**
    * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads
    * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
    *
    * @package WordPress
    */

    /**
    * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
    *
    * @var bool
    */
    define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);

    /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
    require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
    ?>

    index.php looks normal. Have you got a .htaccess file – maybe you are attempting to redirect through that? Whats in that file?

    Thread Starter 760715

    I don’t see an .htaccess file.

    Hard to tell then but if you were installing it and suddenly went – then maybe it didnt go through the install (well it couldnt have as it doesnt work) – did you ever get into the Admin and change the site and blog urls? in the Settings?

    Because it feels as though your site urls are screwed up.

    You can go directly to the db and check the options table there you should see something resembling your site your or something http://&#8230;. those need to be correct.

    Another thing to note your server must be configured to use mod_rewrite.

    If this is a clean install – not an upgrade, I would suggested just delete everything and retry again.

    I’m having the same problem. I’m running WordPress 2.3.2 and this is the site: http://annelie-art.com . I wasn’t installing or doing anything… I just woke up this morn and it was like this. I went to the admin area with intentions to write a post. I did see the dashboard for a moment, clicked around to try and approve a comment.. and then it just died on me. I noticed this morn that my blog manager thing (hosted by yahoo) is set to upgrade WP tools automatically (“Automatically update my WordPress tools when upgrades become available.”) and I’m wondering if something happened with that? blegh. Thankas in advance for any help!

    Sounds like hosting issues, http://annelie-art.com redirects to the install script, that only happens if there is no db installed I think.

    Yes, I noticed today that I’ve never gone into the MySql database to do anything at all. But is it possible that I’ve had the blog for several months (with posts, pics, comments, all that) and not had a database? (I thought all my entries just automatically went in there (way over there…. magicland). My blog files are all in the folder called “stuff” – like annelie-art.com/stuff/ …if that helps at all…

    Thank you hotkee!

    Hi, I am having the same problem. I upgraded to 2.6 two days ago and everything worked fine until today. Today I was posting some things on my site and it was working fine for a couple of hours and then all of the sudden my site disappeared! I can no longer access any pages of my wordpress blog. Anytime I try to access them I get the wordpress welcome and installation screen. Is this related to the permalinks issue with 2.6? If so what can I do to get my site back up and running?

    The Annelie why do you not post the right url

    http://annelie-art.com/stuff/wp-admin/install.php

    If your original site was at http://annelie-art.com, then something in your upload is screwed or you are redirecting away from index.php file to the install file which indicates wp thinks its a new installation.

    And Thank You TOO!

    ??

    annelie-art.com is the original and only site. I posted the right url.
    I have not been attempting to upload, redirect, upgrade, or change anything.
