A web page can’t be found.

  • I just uploaded wordpress 2.9.2 onto my web host. which is:

    Apache 2.2.11
    PHP 5.2.9
    MySQL 5.0.90-community

    I changed the wp-config-sample.php file and renamed it to wp-config,php and then ran the install.php program.

    When I did, I keep getting the message:

    HTTP 404
    The webpage cannot be found.

    I did check the database I created for the website, and 11 tables were created in the database which leads me to beleive that I setup the
    wp-config.php file correct.

    So what could be going wrong?

  • What’s the website address?

    The website address is https://www.highskysoftware.com

    Username: admin

    Password: dERpoFuOlZ7S

    When I go to the website I have no problem. However, the problem starts when I try to log in.

    bgatto… posting passwords is a no no… a word of caution.

    about the error you’re getting, it seems that your site is looking for file “redirect.php”. is this site working before you install wordpress or have you installed wordpress in this domain before?

    I have installed wordpress on my web host before, but now highskysoftware.com is an addon domain and I am trying to install wordpress under that domain.

    Oh ok… yes the culprit is that redirect.php thing… can you please go and logon to your admin area and change the password then maybe look for that “redirect.php” thing in your domain and addon.

    Your blog is working only that you need to specify the file you want to access and that’s “index.php” so when you log on here:
    https://highskysoftware.com/wp-login.php
    it will give a 404 not found error and the address is
    https://highskysoftware.com/wp-admin/
    just add “index.php” at the end of it. So it would look like
    https://highskysoftware.com/wp-admin/index.php
    Then change your password and sort out the “redirect.php” thing.

    I was able to go into highskysoftware.com/wp-admin/index.php and change my password.

    However, I’m not too good with PHP. I didn’t find a file called redirect.php. I did find a global variable caled redirect_to in the
    wp-login.php file.

    I’m just trying to figure out if any changes should be made to this file around the redirect_to variable.
