WordPress Install Page Just Keeps Refreshing
-
I just copied a fresh download of WordPress to my Amazon EC2 server but when I try to go through the installation process, it just reloads the page with no error. You can see it here, try and install it.
https://www.qview.io/wordpress2/I have downloaded multiple copies of WordPress, tried installing each fresh download, spooled up new servers and tried those, nothing changed. I’ve installed WordPress probably 50 times, I’m very knowledgeable on it, I just can’t get this one to work.
My suspected reasoning is that this is my first time attempting it on a Cloudfront / Load Balancer / SSL / EC2 combination, I’ve never used Amazon’s free SSL services before. After a lot of support requests with Amazon, I got the SSL to work, the new problem was that WordPress was trying to load the install CSS and JS over HTTP but my server killed the request because it required HTTPS. I added “$_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]=’on’;” to the wp-config file along with the correct database information (MySQL) and at least then the page would load properly. However, when you try and click the Install Now button, it just refreshes the page and doesn’t do anything else. Give it a whirl for yourself.
My Amazon setup is working for all other PHP files on the domain and is currently set up as DNS -> Route53 -> Cloudfront -> Load Balancer -> ACM (Amazon Certificate Manager for SSL) -> EC2.
I have no clue why the page would just flash and reload instead of installing. Any ideas?
