Besttechie Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 It doesn't appear the file is even on the server. Are you sure you uploaded it to the right location? Because your main directory is just static html pages...What are the exact steps you took so far to attempt to install WordPress?B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baker7 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) Jeff:I have followed the instructions word for word and have attempted to inatall on the root of the server by editing wp-config.sample.php and I changed the name as directed, then uploaded all the files to a directory called /blog - Then I go to the server via VNC and type in http://localhost/blog/wp-admin/install.php and she says:"The URL /blog/wp-admin/install.php was not found on the server" - Does NOT matter where I put the thing, it just wont install - I think I need an assist from BT community linux experts cause the apache2 directives and such may be messed up - If anyone wants to take a shot, let me know by PM Thanks,Brian Edited August 27, 2009 by baker7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Besttechie Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 If you can provide me with some FTP access, I can take a look at what you did so far with regards to uploading the files. I guess SSH access might be necessary too (depending on the problem).B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
