Wordpress subfolder installation problem -> redirect to main page

[sammysosa]

Hi guys,

I'm trying install wordpress into subdirectory /blog on my VL website.
For some reason when I go to

• /blog/wp-admin/install.php

Nothing happens.
I guess it has something to do with .htcacess or Clean url plugin? (tried disabling [in admin menu, not in plugins] but no difference).

If I go to for example (/asdfdsf not exist)

• blog/asdfdsf

It will load main page but url will be "http://domain.com/blog/asdfsd" .

Hope it does make sense.

We have a blog plugin in testing and htaccess already has the needed codes for it present. Since it uses the "folder" your wordpress not working.

You could delete without worries for now from htaccess

###############################
## User Blog Plugin         
###############################
RewriteRule ^blog/author/(.*)/ index.php?a=blog&author=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^blog/search/(.*)/ index.php?a=blog&search=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^blog/tag/(.*)/ index.php?a=blog&tag=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)/preview/ index.php?a=blog&name=$1&ub_preview=1 [L]
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)/ index.php?a=blog&name=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^blog/ index.php?a=blog [L]

But note, if you ever gonna install our plugin, it will not work.

I modified .htaccess

###############################
## User Blog Plugin         
###############################
#RewriteRule ^blog/author/(.*)/ index.php?a=blog&author=$1 [L]
#RewriteRule ^blog/search/(.*)/ index.php?a=blog&search=$1 [L]
#RewriteRule ^blog/tag/(.*)/ index.php?a=blog&tag=$1 [L]
#RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)/preview/ index.php?a=blog&name=$1&ub_preview=1 [L]
#RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)/ index.php?a=blog&name=$1 [L]
#RewriteRule ^blog/ index.php?a=blog [L]

Now I can acces 1.step (dtb info etc.), but after hitting submit button result is blank screen.

Clear your cookies and cache also, sometimes htaccess changes dont submit until you did, for whatever reason -.-

Other than that, there is nothing on our end which prevents installing WP.
If you hit a white page after db info, it usually means a php error, would bet wrong db details or something else is wrong with your WP

Ok thanks very much Basti!

*I do believe .htaccess already refreshed (coz I could actually "create the config-wp" file). Database details are also fine (tried wrong one which lead to "can't connect to dtb error") so I guess WP files are corrupted or something ...I will figure that out
Thanks again!

update: somehow files start appearing in /blog ... looks like wordpress is installing extremely slowly ... because I can't restart server I'll have to wait hope in few hours I could do clean install...

update n2: script got f*ck up, in /blog every 2 min appearing wordpress files but they're empty by this rate it will finish in 38 hours ... I know this has nothing to do with you guys but someone might strike into something similar so I'll keep you updated! I also contact my webhosting customer service but that guy couldn't help me (I asked for reset that could stop the script? I hope) so he forwarded to devs ...wanna se what's gonna happen.

last update: So what was wrong? FTP process stuck and f?ck up everything ... after that everything work flawless (manual installation)
