Can't install… Just error page.

Did you install WordPress in a sub-directory (folder) or at the root of your site? If it’s in a folder, then you’ll need to alter your path to

skiing-tips-and-tricks.com/your-directory-name-here/wp-admin/install.php

I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand… Do you mind telling me how exactly I can do that?

By the way, thank you!

Where did you install WordPress. Is it in a folder called “wordpress” or “blog” or something else?

goldenbible,

This is 99% wrong database info in wp-config.php. Check it out, you need to use mysql[number].000webhost.com instead of localhost, where [number] is the number of server. You can see correct mysql server name at your 000webhost hosting account’s dashboard.

zoonini:

I installed it and it’s in a folder called “wordpress”.

arkgroup:

I made sureI had the correct host name… I used mysql11.000webhost.com in the host name area… I made sure all of that was in order.

Thank you!

I installed it and it’s in a folder called “wordpress”.

Then your install file should be here:

skiing-tips-and-tricks.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php

p.s. add https://www. before the above link – didn’t want to make it clickable here.

When you go on this url as you have wordpress files and folders in wordpress folder
https://skiing-tips-and-tricks.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php

Get error because looks like you have not entered database name in wp-config.php file

* Are you sure it exists?
* Does the user a9665558_joshua have permission to use the database_name_here database?
* On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_database_name_here. Could that be the problem?

I’m sorry, I’m not very good at this type of thing… Here’s what I’ve got:

? MySQL Database ? MySQL User ? MySQL Host
a9665558_wp a9665558_joshua mysql11.000webhost.com

I uploaded the WordPress folder and just left the name at WordPress, I’m not sure what that means to be honest…

I apologize for being so incompetent, I just honestly don’t understand exactly what your talking about here… Here’s what my config file says:

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

Thank you!

You’re missing a database name:

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘database_name_here’);

You need to replace database_name_here with a9665558_wp (if the above is correct)

OH!!! Thank you! I’ll put that information in in a minute, thank you once again :-).

Instead of you editing the wp-config.php file you can let the install program create the file for you if you want to do that just delete the wp-config.php file and leave the sample config there and run install program

I thought that would’ve fixed it up, but it’s still showing a error message when I go to the website “https://skiing-tips-and-tricks.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php”…

Thank you!

govpatel,

I’m not sure, what good would doing that do?

govpatel,

I just did what you suggested, there still isn’t a change though…

Thanks anyway!

I could always email you my FTP user name/host/password so that you could have a look yourself…
