Installing Wordpress on a windows server = omg.

Question

Hello,

It's not the first time that i install wordpress on a linux hosting BUT this is the first time i have to do that on a windows server.

I upload the latest version on the FTP : go to my www.mydomain.com error 500.

okay.... maybe one file is corrupted, i re-upload them... go to my www.mydomain.com : error 500.

If I do : www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/setup-config.php i can enter the database information, wordpress CAN access to the DB but it seems that there is NO wp-config.php file created.

I absolutely don't know what to do.

Thank for your help.

(runing ofc php 5.2)

Answer 1

Are there any other domains hosted on this account? I found that my DotNetNuke site did not play nice with WP and could not co-exist. I ended up tossing WP and using the blog module in DNN. Is it possible that there's some interference in using PHP with ASP.NET?

"but it seems that there is NO wp-config.php file created."

To work around file creation permissions, have you tried to create the wp-config.php file manually?: Editing wp-config.php « WordPress Codex
