    Hi, all I’m trying to set up the worpress on https://www.rendifuel.com. I uploaded the files for wordpress but could not get the 5 minute install. I tried to manually creat the wp-config having the db user and pw, but get the same result.
    I’ve done this many times with no problem. I can’t see where i’m making a mistake here…

  • Most likely you have permission problem on your root folder

    If I am able to create a simple html file and it works, I mean the html works fine, should a folder permission problem not be overruled?

    I just checked via the cpanel file manager. It has 777 for public_html

    Change public_html 750 see that solves your problem

    Thanks for your interest and help. I’ll tell you what i just did. I changed the public_html and all subs to 777.
    Now having read your reply I changed back just the public_html back to 750. It doesn’t slve the issue.
    Shall I change everything to 750?

    Normal permissions for folders is 755 and files 644 public_html 750 this is on cpanel.

    Having folders to 777 is not safe as you will have security issues.

    Check with your host on what permissions should be as they can login and rectify the problem for you.

    I guess it was a database version problem. I reuploaded wordpress and it prompted me to upgrade the db. It’s workiing now.
    Thanks for your help anyway, @govpatel
