I'm trying to setup WordPress but I'm not having much luck. I created a virtualhost in apache:
| Code: |
<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs/wordpress
ServerName wordpress.example.org
<Directory />
php_flag register_globals off
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php
</IfModule>
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
|
I then used wp-config-sample.php to create wp-config.php. I tested the MySQL credentials and they worked fine.
So I then tried to go to:
http://wordpress.example.org/wp-admin/wp-install.php
All I get back from that is:
| Code: |
<html><body></body></html>
|
I've got a similar config for SquirrelMail and that works fine. Now sure what the problem is.
Any WordPress users out there that might know what I'm doing wrong? |

Are you installing it using ssl? Did you use https (instead of http) to test the site? |

Yeah that was just a cut/paste error. I ended up changing it to *:80. Either way though (http/https), the output is always blank HTML.
If my SquirrelMail didn't work, I'd know for sure it was an apache or PHP issue. I don't know, it's really weird. |

I found the problem I was having and that was that PHP didn't have MySQL support compiled into it so WordPress failed silently. I was able to then complete the install with no errors. However when I can't login as 'admin'. When I try I get the message from Firefox:

Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked.

I'm not blocking cookies so I know it's not that. Anyone got any ideas? |

Found the problem, it seemed to be a patch applied to the WordPress source. I just commented out this line in src_unpack:
| Code: |
epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PV}/login-patch.diff
|
I can login and everything works fine now. |

| You should submit a bug about this at https://bugs.gentoo.org. I believe the wordpress ebuild is relatively new. |

Ok, so I've just installed wordpress and ran into this same problem.
This bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53563 says that you need to install wordpress with webapp-config because it needs a patch that webapp config will apply to it.
I didn't use webapp-config to install it though. So I'm not sure if my fix will break anything else. But if you want modify line 257 in wp-login.php
from: } else {
to: } elseif (False) {
This just basically blocks the code that executes the redirection. I'll post again if I find that it breaks anything. |

I'm trying to use wordpress 1.2.1, used webapp-config to install it but am having the same results. It seems that in 1.2.1 the wp-login.php isn't the same as previous versions as my lines don't match anything close to yours. Has anyone else found a fix for this yet  |

I posted about this in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1711368#1711368
This is the change I found necessary for the redirect problem:
| Code: | diff -P -r -u -x '*~' ebuild/htdocs/wp-admin/auth.php tarball/htdocs/wp-admin/auth.php
--- ebuild/htdocs/wp-admin/auth.php 2004-10-10 23:45:52.000000000 -0500
+++ tarball/htdocs/wp-admin/auth.php 2004-05-18 21:05:40.000000000 -0500
@@ -25,7 +25,7 @@
return false;
} else {
- if ($login->user_login == $user_login && $login->user_pass == $user_pass_md5) {
+ if ($login->user_login == $user_login && md5($login->user_pass) == $user_pass_md5) {
return true;
} else {
return false; |
This is actually how it is in the tarball from wordpress.org. Apparently, the souce used in the ebuild needs to be updated. |
