First time installing in Ubuntu

  • Hello. I have followed the guide from LINK But I am starting the https://localhost/wp-admin/setup-config.php for the first time it is reporting “Sorry, I need a wp-config-sample.php file to work from. Please re-upload this file to your WordPress installation.”.

    I double check everything but I cant seem to find the issue.

    Please Help me. And thank you.

  • Hello,

    Is the file ‘wp-config-sample.php’ in the root directory? Does it have the correct file permissions associated with it?
