Be sure you’re running install.php in HTTP mode, not FTP.
Thanks for your reply, but I do have a good bit of knowledge in web-development, more over in Computer Science… And I know that you need to run php files in web browser not in FTP client.
do you get just a blank page?
did you move your blog from/in a subdir?
Yeap, when I point the browser to my domain it redirects to the domain/wp-admin/install.php and all I get is just a blank page. No error msg at all.
No, I haven’t move the blog from/to a subdir… it is in the root of my sub-domain.
Do you have access to the Apache error log via Cpanel or Plesk? If you could past the last PHP or Apache errors that might help us to figure this out. Sounds like something I had before, but I need more data.
And maybe you could check and see what is in the index.php or index.html in your root…
I came across a situation, Everything was fine … wordpress 3.0 was installed properly but i was unable to create sub domain for wordpress for example :
* wordpress.mavendeveloper.com or
* jobs.mavendeveloper.com or
* extjs.mavendeveloper.com or
* iphone.mavendeveloper.com or any other such sub domain under wordpress 3.0
I searched in forums for help … and followed each and everything like :
* DNS alias (* )
* created Network :
To enable the Network menu item, you must first define multisite in the wp-config.php file.
Open up wp-config.php and add this line above where it says /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */:
define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
* even changed in Database
But no hope …. after that what i did is :
* removed/deactivated all the active plugins
* uploaded twentyTen theme (it comes by default)
And Yes , After i uploaded twentyTen Theme it worked … i have just removed this theme and has just my custom theme … and that was the solution …..
Please do Upload TwentyTen theme if u come up with such a problem and you will find it working ….
If you have any problem in sub-domain issue please write to me …. i have gained a whole lot of experience in sub-domain issue for wpmu n wordpress 3.0
