Title: difficulty installing Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # difficulty installing * palmer * [21 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/difficulty-installing/) * Having trouble installing wordpress. Have PHP running and MYsql latest versions as of 040816. I put a print out in the install.php file and it prints that at the beginning of the file. So I know it gets into the file. Is there a version of the install.php file with debugging code so I can see where it hands up? I really think you should show progress in that file so that one knows what errors to report here. I am not sure what to do next. It is not that I get a blank page at the end of the install process. It is rather more like the install process does not go anywere.
