# /wp-admin/install.php opens a blank page

 * Hi,
 * I just followed the 5 steps to install WordPress on my hosting provider’s web
   server. I created a database and added a user from my c-panel by going to MySQL
   databases.
 * I manually edited wp-config.php to put in all the relevant info and uploaded 
   all files to the server in the root directory (under /public_html)
 * I then went to my website.com/wp-admin/install.php (in Firefox), expecting to
   see an install page but all I get is a blank page.
 * Any idea why?
 * Thanks!

 * Thanks! That’s a really helpful video. One thing I noticed is that you have a
   php.ini in your public_html. I don’t. I’m guessing that’s necessary for WP? If
   so, how do I get that file?

 * No, it’s not necessary…I created that on an account I have with Bluehost and 
   included the php.ini to increase the max file upload size.

   i am unable to see the wp-admin dashboard, all i can get is a blank page…i was
   suggested for that php.ini file to add some memory limit which i can’t find on
   my server..how to get that….?

 * Can anyone else help resolve this issue? I believe my WP files are all loaded
   correctly on my server in my Public_html directory; but I have the same problem
   as Kufloyd does where after I load to my server, I can’t access the WP-Admin 
   install panel in my web browser; instead I get this error on the page:
 * Warning: require_once(/home/htmmel/public_html//wp-includes/classes.php) [function.
   require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/htmmel/
   public_html/wp-load.php on line 46
