Title: PHP Failure Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # PHP Failure * [markrarnold](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markrarnold/) * (@markrarnold) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-failure/) * Hi all, * I’ve been attempting an upgrade of PHP on my server. Whilst I’ve done everything according to the instructions, I keep getting the error… ********************* ********************* …when I go to my site. * Does this mean that PHP is not running or that WordPress has failed somehow?? * Any/all help would be very much appreciated!! * Ta, Mark.

If so, how do I go about upgrading WP without the site working in the first place? * Thanks, Mark. * [Jeremy Clark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeremyclark13/) * (@jeremyclark13) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-failure/#post-646315) * RPC has to do with the server. First you need to get a working server with php and mysql then install WP. * A easy way to test if you’ve got it working is to create a file in your web root and call it phptest.php then in the file put this * ``` ``` * Then navigate your browser to that page and it should print out a bunch of information about you php installation. Scroll down that page and sure to look that the mysql extension is loaded as well. After you’ve got a working server then we can help you installing WP but this really isn’t a forum for server support. * Google is your friend as well, there are great tutorials on installing php and IIS together.
