Hey guys,

I'm trying to install wordpress on a parallels plesk panel, its what marcaria.com uses for hosting. I have no idea for the life of me how to do this.

When I try installing it through their applications panel I get this error:

PHP support (>= 4.2.2, < 5.0) (available: switched off, suitable: no)
PHP safe mode off (available: off, suitable: yes)
Database required (mysql, version >= 3.0.0) (available: 5.0.51, suitable: yes)
Disk space required: 13.0 MB (available: 215 487 MB, suitable: yes)

So, I tried using filezilla to install it into the httpdocs directory, then running install.php. This didn't work either - i've got the files in the directory, but the install.php won't run.


If anyone can give me a hand i'd be very grateful, if a reputable member wants to take a couple bucks to do this for me that would work too.

Or maybe April O'Neil will suffice.

I dont even use a VPS, or plesk. However, just by looking at your errors, I would pressume it was your PHP version that was wrong.

Make a new php file with the following in:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
It should let you know what version of PHP you have. Somebody may be able to help you further from this info.
 
ftp into your domain, upload WP files into public_html with filezilla.

setup your SQL db on site and then add your SQL info into wp-config.php

reupload wp-config.php w your new sql info

visit site and follow steps to finish setting it up.
should work !
 
did that,

now i get this txt file downloaded when I try accessing mysite.com/httpdocs/wp-admin/install.php

or even when I try just mysite.com
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/

/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>

Yeah, find out your PHP version. You might not even have PHP from the look of it. Do what Jake323 asked and get back to us.
 
look like you're right, I dont even have php. now onto figuring out how to install that.
 
From what it sounds, you've absolutely no idea about managing a VPS/Server? Why not save yourself the trouble and buy a shared hosting account where the company does all the management for you?
 
Save yourself the headache and go to page.ly for wordpress hosting. If this part of installed WP is giving you grief it is only going to get harder.

If no page.ly then go to hostgator and get a reseller account
 
As Patrick said, you need to find a managed host. There are hosts out there (including us amerinoc) that will fix this problem for you instantly. This is a problem I see with alot of webmasters, they are spending most of their time screwing with their server/virtual account and not concentrating on the main goal which is making money with your websites.

For 10-15 bucks a year you could get a zensix shared plan that comes with an autoinstall program for wordpress. I would choose directadmin over cpanel and definitely over plesk any day of the week
