I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
You’re right. Something is going on with my Vista that’s shutting down the Windows Explorer in the middle of the unzipping process, so I simply didn’t get the file I needed.
I imagine this will fix it. Thanks, and sorry for what was probably a frustrating discussion.
I’m a moron. I just mistyped in my last post.
I MEANT that “wp-includes” (NOT wp-admin) doesn’t contain a subdirectory called “Text”. It only contains subdirectories for “images” and “js”.
Sorry about that.
This exists: /usr/local/pem/vhosts/168105/webspace/httpdocs/wp-includes/wp-diff.php
This does not:
‘/usr/local/pem/vhosts/168105/webspace/httpdocs/wp-includes/Text/Diff.phpNow: any other thoughts? Sorry about wasting your time on the last one.
Thanks.
right. I realize that it’s looking for it inside that text directory.
I downloaded the zip file & unzipped it. The wp-admin folder didn’t contain a subdirectory called “text”
Any thoughts on why my wordpress is attempting to look there or how to change it?
Thanks again!
ok, it seems to be looking for a file that doesn’t exist in a directory that also doesn’t exist.
for anyone who has 2.6.1, can you tell me whether your wp-admin directory contains a subdirectory called “text”? and if so, whether the text directory contains a file named “diff.php”?
I don’t have any of that. Is it trying to call up the wrong thing, or am I missing files?
Thank you!
Hi whooami. Thanks for responding.
I’ll check the wp-includes stuff. I just don’t understand why the problem is intermittent & inconsistent.
On the second problem: you’re exactly right, and I’m kicking myself. As a web designer I know better than EVER to paste anything from Word, but I’d forgotten and copied some posts from an old blog into word to save for later. Thank you for pointing this out.

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Installed fine, dashboard area fine, home page is blankSo, I finally got mine working. Turns out that Dotster tech support didn’t know what they were talking about when they said I’d have no problems installing WP on a Windows server. Once I decided to listen to my gut and switched to linux hosting, it worked like a charm.
I’m not marking this thread resolved since there are other people with issues posting here.
Thanks for your offer of help, vietknight!

In reply to: HELP! Overwhelmed trying to get startedthanks, flashpal. I have Dotster, not GoDaddy, and they assured me that wp would work on their Windows servers, so I’m not sure what’s going on.
I know Dotster used to have a wp installer, but i’m not sure they support the current version.
thanks for the tips – I’ll definitely check into it.
Wonderful! You are both great – thank you!
btw I used Otto’s solution and it worked fantastic.
Yay!
Now to address the myriad other problems.

In reply to: HELP! Overwhelmed trying to get startedThanks, Otto. If I can’t get it to work by the end of the day, that’s what I’ll do. I’m tired of wracking my brain.
Would you mind looking at this question? I’m sure it’s something really simple I’m overlooking. Thank you!!

In reply to: HELP! Overwhelmed trying to get startedOtto, I’m on a Windows hosting plan with a different host. My husband was able to get a wp install up & going without switching to linux, but we’ve had nothing but problems with mine.
Would it be easier with linux hosting?
Thanks!
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Installed fine, dashboard area fine, home page is blankOk, I’m still back at square one. We started over and installed a fresh copy. Same result.
We started over an installed a previous version, which is running fine on another site we have (also hosted by Dotster). Same result.
The home page is blank. No errors, just blank.
It’s not a database problem, as it saves and allows me to edit my posts. It appears to be a rendering problem. I can select a theme, but the preview panes for the themes are blank, too.
Any thoughts? Please help! I’m chomping at the bit & ready to get going. Thanks!

In reply to: Installed fine, dashboard area fine, home page is blankHi Vietknight. No, there are two of us with the same problem. Mine was on a fresh install, and i’m going to start over again tomorrow.
Steverf is the one who had problems upon updating.
Thanks.

In reply to: Installed fine, dashboard area fine, home page is blankIt’s a fresh install from nothing, not an upgrade.
I’m only able to view the post inside the editing area. The link to the post shows a blank page as well. Basically, everything on the user side is blank.
It doesn’t give any “page not found” errors, though. it’s just blank.
thanks!
