Title: Subdomain Installation Problems Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Subdomain Installation Problems * [Agolden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agolden/) * (@agolden) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdomain-installation-problems/) * Hi. I’ve been able to install WordPress on a subdomain, however I am continung to receive the same errors on my latest WP installation when I select the Advanced Controls (Options > Writing ) while trying to use the Write Post, or Write Page * Here are the errors I am receiving: ———————————————————————————- * WRITE POST Warning: Unexpected character in input: ” (ASCII=92) state=1 in / home/*****/public_html/blog/wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php on line 179 * Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘)’, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /home/*****/ public_html/blog/wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php on line 179 * WRITE PAGE Warning: Unexpected character in input: ” (ASCII=92) state=1 in / home/*****/public_html/blog/wp-admin/edit-page-form.php on line 139 * Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘)’, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /home/*****/ public_html/blog/wp-admin/edit-page-form.php on line 139 ———————————————————————————– * My blog is installed on a subdomain; [http://www.blog.mydomain.com](http://www.blog.mydomain.com) and thus all files including .htacces and the index.php file reside in the “blog” folder. This is important as we have our primary CMS system that requires it’s index.php file to be in the root folder. * I’ve triple checked CHMOD permissions for both files and directories but cannot figure out what’s going on. * I’ve previously installed WP in root directories before and have never had this problem. I’ve also spent a great deal of time searching the WordPress forums/ and Codex to no avail. * Any thoughts, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced. * Andrew Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdomain-installation-problems/#post-301221) * I don’t think it is related to where WP is installed. The first thing I’d try: to upload a new/fresh version of the files mentioned in the error message. * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdomain-installation-problems/#post-301222) * I would suggest that this is a file transfer error, and deleting then re-uploading the contents of the /wp-admin folder would be the first try at fixing things. It’s the easiest to do too 🙂 * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdomain-installation-problems/#post-301223) * Speedy moshu 🙂 * Thread Starter [Agolden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agolden/) * (@agolden) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdomain-installation-problems/#post-301227) * Boy Speedy is RIGHT! Thank you both very much. Will try that now and see how it works out. * Cheers and many thanks. * [swood47](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swood47/) * (@swood47) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdomain-installation-problems/#post-301232) * Speedy for some things. Simply don’t respond to others. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdomain-installation-problems/#post-301237) * @swood47, I know you have a topic started but not being a mysql expert I really don’t know the answer. I thought that posting something like “hmmm, well, I dunno..” wouldn’t help you and – what is more important! – it would remove your post from the _un-answered_ list. I know many expert helpers go to that list when they come online, so not responding to it… isn’t necessarily bed. Thank you for your understanding! * Thread Starter [Agolden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agolden/) * (@agolden) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdomain-installation-problems/#post-301244) * Hey Moshu & Podz, * I tried deleting all of the /wp-admin/ files, then reuploading them. That didn’t seem to do the trick. Going with your thoughts that this was an FTP error, I dumped my install (MySql) and used a different FTP program to upload. * Same exact result. Wors fine under simple mode, same errors as originally posted when on Advanced Mode. * What would be the next best course of action? Truly appreciate your time/help. * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdomain-installation-problems/#post-301254) * ASCII=92 is a backslash [\]. Those lines really contain that character but servers should know better why are they used in the code 🙂 I suggest to contact your host with the error messages. * Thread Starter [Agolden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agolden/) * (@agolden) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdomain-installation-problems/#post-301678) * Been awhile since I’ve worked on this project. Wanted to thank you for your help. * Cheers- Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘Subdomain Installation Problems’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [advanced](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/advanced/) * [errors](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/errors/) * [installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/installation/) * [subdomain](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/subdomain/) * In: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) * 9 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [Agolden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agolden/) * Last activity: [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subdomain-installation-problems/#post-301678) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
