Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: And another install.php issueah, the favicon is not an issue, almost none of my customers use it. It just doesn’t get uploaded. It is not a reason for failure. Favicon is what you see on this site for example, next to the url, there is a little W
That is a favicon.But I have to say that my issue is resolved. I’ve downloaded the sources from here (I used a debian rep. first) and now it does work. I have no idea what is wrong with the debian package. I’m gonna do some tests with it in a virtual machine and report it to the debian maintainer. Anyway, should someone here get the same issues as I had, then this is the step-by-step solution
apt-get remove wordpad
rm -rf /usr/share/wordpress
rm -rf /etc/wordpress
rm -rf /var/www/directorywhereyouwantedtorunwordpressdownload it from this site
untar/unzipAlter your config.php
Fixed.
Best regards,

In reply to: And another install.php issueI don’t think this is server related really.
My server works just fine. It hosts over 50 domains…
Heck, I even support .net with mono 😉
If a regular install of debian with the only added options apache2, php5, mysql 5 and mono is a serverissue then wordpress would not be running on many systems.The install.php script tries to access the wp-settings.php in /etc/wordpress which makes no sense, since the original file is in the www-root of this particulair domain. So your awsner is to me a bit like saying: “i have no clue, so it’s your fault.” That is not meant like a flame btw.
My question is purely wordpress setup related, since the server is configured and running well.
But let me rephrase my question.
How can I get install.php to access the real wp-settings.php and not a symbolic linked version of it. I have a feeling that would resolve my issue.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: And another install.php issueA little more info I just found.
In my blog directory I can access wp-settings.php just fine.
However the install.php wants to access it in /etc/wordpressThere is a symbolic link there, that also links to itself /etc/wordpress/wp-settings.php
I think the whole issue can be resolved by letting install.php open the original wp-settings… I just don’t know how to do that.

In reply to: And another install.php issueWell the problem is. I am the host 🙂
I have a production server in a datacentre for several websites I host. All works well. I’m using Apache2, PHP5 and mysql 5.0.41. All these things are tested and work.For one reason or another it looks like /etc/wordpress/wp-settings.php is symbolic linked to itself. I can’t even do a simple ‘cat /etc/wordpress/wp-settings.php’
I have no idea why this is the case, I did a fresh install of wordpress with ‘apt-get install wordpress’ (I use debian).
I searched the forums here, but it doesn’t seem to be a known issue.
When opening install.php I get a blank page.
