    When trying to activate WordPress, we received the error below. We are not sure what this means. Can anyone help?

    It means PHP is not runing on your server.

    I’m not sure the problem is with PHP not running on your server. You can check this though by trying to run the following code:

    <?php infophp(); ?>

    Sorry all those postings, I was trying to show code and couldn’t get the backticks to work. Anyhow, Just type in a plaintext editor, save it to your server and see if you get info about the PHP version on the server it means PHP is running. I was having the same problem as you. I reinstalled MySQL, deleted MySQL receipts, reinstalled, dropped tables, databases, ect. After doing all this I just happened to point my browser at the old site and to my supprise I was taken to the install page instead of the WordPress Already Installed page, go figure. Everything seems to be working fine now. So maybe try that or maybe even a different browser. I know it sounds weird but I’ve had some problems with Safari and serving content on localhost. Hope this helps a little.

    I am having the same problem as danielle. I tested the php using the infophp() command and it works fine.

    arepo, what do you mean when you say I pointed my browser at the old site?

    I am having exactly the same problem.

    My server stats say that PHP is enabled, and when I try to run the <?php infophp(); ?> script, it gives me a completely blank pagf, and the status bar says ‘Done’.

    Any ideas?

    Can we have a lot more info about the hosting please ?

    What are you looking for?
    I am with a company called Dataspace.co.za
    I have create a MySQL database, and added the details into my wp_config file,
    What else do you need? I can find out for you.

    Thanks 😀

    I’m still having the same problem that danielle reported. I have confirmed that Apache and php are functioning properly. I can’t seem to get wordpress installed. Any ideas?

    w2dmb / emccomas:
    I realise this is frustrating for you, but in order to get the right information to you – rather than throwing a ton of links at you – it would be really helpful to get as much info as possible about your hosts:

    – Who are you hosted with ?
    – Windows or Linux Server ?
    – php / mysql versions
    – what have you tried from your searches here ?
    – have you contacted your host about this ?
    – do you have cpanel / plesk / vdeck ?
    exactly what happens when you try to install ?
    – can we have a link to where the files are installed ?
    Info, lots of info is what we need – and then we are better informed to help you 🙂

    I am attempting to host this on my local machine. I am using Apache 2.0 and php 5.0.4. My machine is a Windows 2000 system. I am using MySQL 4.1.

    I can connect to my machine through Netscape. My machine reports that Apache is installed correctly when I do this. I can also log onto the MySQL database from a command window and execute various commands. And, I can test php using infophp() that I learned about on this website.

    I don’t have, or know what, cpanel / plesk / vdeck are.

    When I try to install wordpress by opening the install.php file from the Netscape browser, I get the exact same message that appears at the top of this thread.

    I am located behind multiple firewalls, and a secure government site, so I can’t provide a link to my site.

    I have used my system as a web host for other pieces of software with success.
