9.1 Installer # Installer Payload Error If you get the following error while trying to run the installer from the command line: "Installer payload initialization failed. This is likely due to an incomplete or corrupt downloaded file" The installer binary is not complete, likely because the file was not downloaded correctly. You will need to download the file and repeat the installation process. 9.2 Apache If you find any problem starting Apache, the first place you should check is the Apache error log file: /home/user/wordpress-3.5.2-0/apache2/logs/error.log on Linux or C:\Program Files\BitNami WordPress Stack\apache2\logs\error.log on Windows or /Applications/wordpress-3.5.2-0/apache2/logs/error.log. Most errors are related to not being able to listen to the default port. Make sure there are no other server programs listening at the same port before trying to start Apache. Some programs, such as Skype, may also use port 80. For issues not covered in this Quick Start guide, please refer to the Apache documentation, which is located at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/ 9.3 MySQL The following are some common problems: # Access denied when trying to connect to MySQL. If you get an Access Denied message while trying to connect to MySQL, make sure you are using the correct username and password. # "Can't connect to server" message. Make sure that the MySQL daemon is up and running. Remember also that if during installation you selected a different listening port for MySQL, you may need to pass that as an extra command line option. For help in troubleshooting MySQL errors, you may want to reference the "Problems and Common Errors" section of the MySQL manual, which you will find at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ 9.4 Varnish # Changing Varnish port The installer will automatically er the Apache port. This works fine production environment, you will appropriate one (for example, 80 currently taking it. set for the Varnish port the first one free aft to test it but if you want to use Varnish in a probably want to change its port to a more instead of 81) and change Apache port if it is
