Hello there
I do not know very well if this is the best place for this post. Sorry, if not. Anyways, I would appreciate if any of you could give me a hint about why I just see a blank page when I click http://www.arreglaordenador.com/blog/wp ... nstall.php
I uploaded all the unzipped wordpress installation file and uploaded the content into the blog directory http://www.arreglaordenador.com/blog
Now I do not understand why I do not even see anything in this page. I just see blank. Does any of you have any idea about it?
Thanks a lot.

My guess would be that an error is being generated, but the "display_errors" directive is turned off. Your best bet is to change that value in php.ini.

Thanks for the try but I cannot change that php.ini because this is not my local server but a remote server.

Ok, then can you check where the errors are being logged to?

Just to check my hypothesis, create a file like this:

Code: Select all

<?php blaselksfpoiwauadsjasdfi ?>
That page will generate a parse error. If errors are being displayed, then you'll see them on the page. If nothing is shown on the screen, then errors are for sure not being displayed. Hopefully your host still logs the errors.

Ok, tried what you told me and that does not display any error but just a blank page. However, If I put the code

Code: Select all

 
<?php 
blaselksfpoiwauadsjasdfi 
echo "hello";
?>
 
then I do see a parse error message displayed on the browser.
Any idea?

I just deleted database and files from the server and repeated the process again with no new step. Now it is installed.
Thanks
