after installing the CiviCRM plugin, I read:"CiviCRM is almost ready. You must configure CiviCRM for it to work." If I click the link to configure, or do the following:
"Then go to Settings > CiviCRM Installer: http:///wp-admin/options-general.php?page=civicrm-install You should see the CiviCRM Installer screen."

then I see only the left and top menu, with 'Settings>CiviCRM Installer' highlit, and a reminder to update Wordpress, but nothing else.

I'm installing CiviCRM 4.6.16 in Wordpress 4.5

I looked for but didn't find .../civicrm.settings.php .

Dec 2016 - I have now re-installed MySql, PHP & wordpress and again activated CiviCRM, but face the same situation on trying to install CiviCRM: a grey blank center of the screen, with wordpress options on top and left edge.

This LAMP stack is on Ubuntu server 16.0.1.

  • Thanks for responding Coleman, Here's a before-clicking-screenshot: imgur.com/caRu3zT Here's an after-clicking-one: imgur.com/RFaiuCk I'll try to be more specific, but my memory is so short I forget exactly what I did. I did try to reload the civiCRM plugin, this time by wget, which is why there are two civicrm plugins in the before screenshot. This didn't solve things. I also loosened permissions for some folders/directories.

  • Well, I'm now seeking professional help (for the CiviCRM installation) through GreenLeaf, in nearby Guilford CT.

  • I guess there's no one home at Greenleaf - I'm trying to get php error logging working, but there's no /var/www/php* , curiously enough.
