could nginx to apache cause failure?

    I can’t seem to get the installer to work on destination server. Times out and reaches a screen with the following text and the usual WP installer screen inside an iFrame:

    server code: 200
status: OK
response:
[WordPress choose language]

    My original server is nginx while the destination is apache.

    Additionally, I got a warning when creating the package about the wp-config file on the original being outside the root. This was confusing because it would just create a new config file on the destination server right? (The scan process says “If the scanner is unable to locate the wp-config.php file in the root directory, then you will need to manually copy it to its new location.” But then the installer process says “A wp-config.php already exists in this location.” So that seems like a small contradiction.)

    The only major warning I got during package creation was “The thresholds that trigger warnings for … tables names with upper-case characters.” Have a MYCRED table named myCRED_log. One last thought… 318.32MB is the total size of my archive. (The apache destination is on Dreamhost shared.)

    Any help is very much appreciated! (And 500 musicians thank you!)

    UPDATE: after trying to create a second installer file and choosing “create new DB” instead of the second option at install, I now get a different response…

    “server code: 500
    status: Internal Server Error
    response:
    Internal Server Error”

    Trying to get hold of my server logs but, pfftt… shared hosts are a pain. 😉

    Hey Peteratomic,

    I don’t really have much experience with nginx. I have helped a few people and the issues ended up being permission related. Have you validated all the permission?

    Thanks

    Hmmm, tested again without any permissions errors.

    Or are you suggesting that I should go ahead and CHMOD my root to 777 before installation just to be safe? (i.e. that the ‘internal server error’ could be triggered by a permissions problem?)

    Yeah I would temporarily set it to 777 to validate if its perm issues, you may also double check the group owner (chown). If those are all open up then it obviously is something else, if you can get the error logs from the host that may shed more light on the issue…

    Ok, tried the switch to 777 but that didn’t seem to help. Here are the error logs:

    It’s not something silly like I shouldn’t have all the default WP files already on the server, right?

    All you should have in the directory are the installer.php and archive.zip files. Can you even run a simple file like test.php (maybe just put phpinfo inside). Here is a thread that might help:

    Failed after eight or ten attempts.
    Gotta search for a totally different method as this seems like a bottomlesspit.

    But thank you very much for trying to help!

    No Problem… Sorry you couldn’t get it going… If you happen to get another environment/server setup you may want to give it another try, the plugin does have an excellent track record for a vast number of environments.
