i'm trying to create a Wordpress site at my domain.
i've downloaded the latest WP file, extracted, then created a database at my site with user, password info, edited the wp-config.php file and FTPd the WP folder and contents into public_html on my site.
when i go to launch the install.php file by accessing it in Firefox, i can't get to it because of a 404 Not Found error.
any clues on what's next?
FTPd the WP folder and contents into public_html
Obvious first question - did you upload the folder with contents, or the contents of the folder?
In other words, did you put an entire folder called "Wordpress" (or whatever) onto your public_html, or did you take the contents (including install.php) and upload them?
i uploaded the folder and it's contents. not working.
i've just tried moving the contents only to public_html but still no joy.
when i go to the domain home page i now get message 'Error establishing a database connection'. ?!?!
ok, sussed it. i'd created a user but not added it. user now added to db, and about to continue the world famous 5min (5hr) installation process.
