I have downloaded the latest version of WordPress from http://www.wordpress.org/ . And I for some reason just get a white screen, when I navigate to "wp-admin/install.php". Which is where I am supposed to go. I get nothing, no content, nothing, just a white screen, and I have been seeing all over the internet that people have been having this exact same problem. I just would like to know if anyone has a logical answer.

The server I am hosted on has the following specs…
- Apache Version 2.2.17
- PHP Version 5.2.16
- MySQL Version 5.1.56
- Architecture x86_64
- Operating System Linux

Yes, I have enough space and bandwidth, and have enough SQL Databases free.
I also tried installing WordPress by downloading, extracting, and uploading every single file via FileZilla FTP.

I hope someone can help,
Thank you very much,

Hello All,

So currently i have a windows server with .asp web pages. My website is search engine optimised and indexed very well by google and more than 95% of my traffic is from google search.

But now due to some reason i have to change the server to linux server and i wont be able to run .asp pages on it.

I have manually designed and created my web pages and last year i tried using wordpress and the whole thing changed. My traffic and alexa rank dropped to lowest because all the indexed web page gave an page not found error. I changed back to my previous .asp pages and the traffic started rising.

So now if i use .php pages or any cms for that website, then how can i redirect all not found error pages to the home page? Is it something related to custom error pages?

Linux server has htaccess page and windows has web.config. I learned about web.config but not sure about how to do it in htaccess. Any suggestion how can i solve this server switch issue? I dont really want the traffic to drop.

Hello everyone !

I want to know about server hosting service providers in English.

Because I want to open my blog sites with WordPress.

Requires that the following conditions are met.

1. A very low fee.
2. Common Linux OS such as CentOS. (Not Windows server)
3. User can set wordpress freely.
4. Fully functional condition without errors about using WordPress. (very important point !)
5. Perl, PHP and other things without restrictions.
5. The trial period for free
6. Visa card available
7. Provides better support for using e-mail

I am a Japanese living in Japan, so very poor English

Please reply in simple English, if possible with URL.

Thank you

I emailed godaddy.com for support but I still can’t find the answer I’m looking for.

I want to purchase an unlimited hosting plan.
I have a macbook so I don’t know if I choose windows or linux.
Does it matter which one I choose?
I heard most mac users go for windows.
When I buy it and have it (whichever one I end up choosing) is it easy to use or am I going to have difficulty trying to run things.
I’m going to try using Joomla or WordPress as the free applications godaddy offers to set up a website because I heard there are more options than simply picking a template already made up website over night plan. (and if joomla or wordpress dont work I will look into getting dreamweaver)
Is this something easy to do for someone who doesn’t know too much about hosting etc?

I hope I’ve given enough information about what I want to know, if not I’ll try and reply a-sap!

well , i am realtivly new to linux ( ubuntu , knoppix )
im going to be going to college soon , and im wondering what sort of jobs would i look at that could require me to use linux ?
i currently know html and am pretty fluent with html , wordpress and style sheets
im working on learning php , and i know a very little amount of python ( basically nothing)
so i guess what im wondering is how do i further my knowledge from just using the os ( i know some things like using terminal , , gedit , sudo …small stuff like that)
but i want to focus my trainign to a specific job soon , and any studies i can do on my own are only going to help me
the reason i was thinking linux , is mainly beacause linux seems like an os that you can really learn … you can "get your hands dirty" in the actual os
but , if you think i would be able to have a more succesfull career with windows then please say so

and what are some future computer related jobs that are going to be in high demand ?
tahnks for your help , it is very much appreciated
