Fresh new install today on Bluehost. Fantastico WP install... << didn't even look at it before ftp'ing the Semiologic files. At first the skin didn't display correctly, but the dashboard worked Setup permalinks, site address, google analytics with .js code (tried with this deactivated, no help.) Configured Contact inline widget and created Contact page. NO home page yet, (since created and published, no help. I've also re-ftp'd the Semio files.
Permissions set to 777 for content and media, 666 for .htaccess and wp-config
Below are the error lines that show when I visit site.
Warning: include_once(sem_path/header.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/adcashpr/public_html/index.php on line 13
Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'sem_path/header.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /home/adcashpr/public_html/index.php on line 13

No big deal to reinstall, just wonder why this isn't working, I done about 20 installs
Well, let me guess. A correct install works, A corrupted install doesn't. What does that tell you?
I have many installs on BlueHost and all work. If the files are intact, the permissions are set, the php-sample.ini file is renamed to php.ini, and the .htaccess-sample.txt file is renamed to .htaccess, it will work. If just one file is corrupt or missing, it won't.
You did specify to overwrite existing files when you ftp'ed the Semiologic upload, right?
I Pretty much understand something's corrupt. I'm just trying to figure out what is going on so I don't have to keep reinstalling everything
I tried three more fantastico installs, re-downloading the 5.5 RC 3 semiologic.
After that didn't work, I completed the manual install by creating the database, created the user, added the user to database and just uploading semiologic package. After the upload I set the file permissions on the two folders and the two files.
The homepage displayed a white no theme background, the first time I visited the site. I hit refresh and all I get is a thin bar at the top with the background color displayed everywhere else.
Next I repeated the process of manually creating everything and using the bleeding edge download of semiologic Pro.
Everything seemed to work until, I edited the contact manager, in-line widget.
I had not created any pages are posts yet, but, as soon as I change the e-mail address for the contact manager and go to view the site. The layout is messed up, the nav bar is missing.
I wonder if the contact manager plug-in has a problem if it's configured before any pages are created?
It seems to me that the database is getting corrupted somehow.
The .htaccess file gets updated with the following information, this seems to look okay:
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
# END WordPress
My next experiment is to install the bleeding edge version of semiologic Pro and create a homepage before I added/modify the contact widget.
Next attempt, perform the steps in this order: created database. Created user. Assigned user to database. Uploaded semiologic bleeding edge to root directory. Went to homepage of site and was notified that I did not have a WP-config.php file FTP the original Deputy config file with correct username and database and password Set permissions on content and media folder to 777. Set permissions on WP config and..htaccess to 666 refreshed homepage. Entered username and e-mail to start the WordPress install process install went well and default semiologic theme is displayed. Created a homepage with title of Home, and three words of text. Click the publish button. Click view site, everything is still okay except the homepage is being displayed, because I haven't set it up yet in the Reading section
Click settings, then reading, check the radio button for static front page and selected the Home page from the drop-down, click save settings and viewed site
Everything looks fine, now I will configure the contact widget. Selected design, then widgets, edited the contact widget changing the e-mail, the message caption and the success caption. Save the changes, and save the changes in the widget window, viewed this site. Everything is fine.
It would seem that if the first thing I edit/configure is the contact widget, it seems to screw up the whole ball of wax.
