  • i stumbled across this thread trying to resolve the exact `problem you were having. i was able to resolve this with a little logic thought about a few other things that related to this issue.

    if you unpacked wordpress in /var/www, you have to create an alias in the httpd.conf file in order to properly get to /wordpress. the lines in my httpd.conf file looked like this that i had to add:

    # Alias for the WordPress directory
    
    Alias /wordpress "/var/www/wordpress"
    <Directory "/var/www/wordpress">
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
    </Directory>

    once that was done and i restarted the server, i had no problem with the install then. prior to that i was getting the same firefox open/save pop up. i hope that works for you or any that might have the same issue. if you extract to /var/www/html, i don’t think you would have that problem because it is the root directory for apache.

    umm…i looked at the links and they are just the general install links. i used and followed them. what does that have to do with my theme only showing up on the local machine?

    well my wordpress page is

    http://reckless2k2.wordpress.com

    my local server install was using the generic default theme. i will look at the posts and maybe it will help with the local server install but what is the excuse for my actual wordpress.com page?

    like i said, i’ve noticed that some http://username.wordpress.com sites show a theme and some don’t. mine happens to not show the theme on other machines.

    i will look into the local server install info you posted. thanks.
