Wordpress Install issues

[egon77]

I am a newbie so I apologize in advance. I have done their 5 minute install and it hasn't gone so smoothly.

1. i downloaded and extracted the wordpress file

2. created a new database with futurequest MySQL -- xtheb_roll-modular

3. Opened the wp-config.php file, modified it using the MySQL database name, username, password and the name of the local host....saved it and closed it.

4. uplodaded the wordpress files i extracted into my www/ folder

5. then when I run the install script by typing in the address http://theb-roll.com/wp-admin/install.php

.......it just goes to a white page and nothing happens

I'm really sorry for my newbishness but I don't know where I'm going wrong.

Thanks in advance!!!!

Whenever a PHP script shows a blank page, check the php_error log file (/big/dom/xyourdomain/logs_cgi/php_error or access it through the troubleshooting section in the CNC).

In your case it says;
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /big/dom/xyourdomain/www/wp-config.php on line 57

So, it's a syntax error. Hint: remove or escape the second single quote from the end of line 48.

First, welcome to the Forum! :smile:

Secondly, no need to apologize! We've all been there before. It's a learning process. Ok? :yeah:
