I am trying to install WordPress on my site under http://example.com/blog. What I did so far is:
- Download and unzip the most recent version of WordPress
- Upload the contents of the wordpress folder to my site's blog folder using FTP
- Edited wp-config.php to contain all of the required information (database info and secret keys)
I had initially tried to create the config file using the automated process, but I got the error table prefix cannot be empty
. However, on the next step (where you give the blog's name and create the admin account) I am getting the must use valid username
error. I know I am using a valid username because it is exactly like my username for this site.
To debug I decided to var_dump
the $_POST
variable. It showed an empty array. This explains why I had to manually create my config file. I got the table prefix error because that is the installation script's first error check...
Any ideas on what I can do?
