Hi,
I have a curious problem installing WordPress on a local LAMP server running CentOS 5.5. I have some other (dynamic) websites running on the same machine without problems. Here's what I did.
1) Create a 'wordpress' database in MySQL monitor.
2) Download WordPress, unzip it into /var/www/html/
3) # chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/wordpress
4) Open Firefox on http://localhost/wordpress
5) Follow instructions (fill in database name, database user and password, etcetera).
And here's where things go wrong. When I click on "Begin installation", Firefox wants to "open" the file install.php by leaving me one of the two following choices :
a) edit "install.php" in GEdit b) download "install.php"
I'm puzzled. Why doesn't install.php simply open as a page?
Any idea what went wrong here?
Cheers,
Niki
