  • it cant find the wp-config.php file, have you ever had WordPress installed and working?

    It should be in the directory up from the WP-ADMIN folder, check its there!

    If its a new install there is never the config file there by default, but there is a wp-config-sample.php file which you can use by editing it and renaming.

    And just a quick note for the future, if you wish to get help try posting whats wrong and the URL if possible – dont just copy and paste the PHP errors. You will find you get a lot more help with the more info about the problem.

    1. edit wp-config-sample.php (fill in the necessary information)
    2. rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php

    Did you even read the README?


    Installation: Famous 5-minute install
    Unzip the package in an empty directory
    Open up wp-config-sample.php with a text editor like WordPad or similar and fill in your database connection details
    Save the file as wp-config.php
    Upload everything.
    Open /wp-admin/install.php in your browser. This should setup the tables needed for your blog. If there is an error, double check your wp-config.php file, and try again. If it fails again, please go to the support forums with as much data as you can gather.
    Note the password given to you.
    The install script should then send you to the login page. Sign in with the username admin and the password generated during the installation. You can then click on ‘Profile’ to change the password.

    beat me to it ??

    I can’t get past:

    Warning: main(): Unable to access /home/maxblog/www/wp-settings.php in /home/maxblog/www/wp-config.php on line 20

    Warning: main(/home/maxblog/www/wp-settings.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/maxblog/www/wp-config.php on line 20

    Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘/home/maxblog/www/wp-settings.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear’) in /home/maxblog/www/wp-config.php on line 20

    blogsite – https://maxblog.xlphp.net – help!!!

    It means the wp-settings.php file is not there.
    Try to upload a fresh copy of the WP files.

    dont be intimidated when you see errors, read them closely:

    Unable to access /home/maxblog/www/wp-settings.php

    .... No such file or directory

    Failed opening required /home/maxblog/www/wp-settings.php

    hmm, what might that mean…

    It means the wordpress installer cant find the file named wp-settings.php!

    — did you actually upload all of the files?

    Before posting again, I reccommend making sure you have uploaded all of the files to your web server.
