    Hi I a newbie to this so its probably something really simple but your help would be much appreciated.

    I’ve followed the install instructions and appear to have it correct. Files appear to have uploaded to my web server ok and setting appear right but when I go to step 5 to run the install script it doesn’t run.

    Following the steps if I go to https://loanchecker.com.au/wp-admin/install.php I get the site can’t be found message. I cn access it however at
    ftp://loanchecker.com.au/wp-admin/install.php does this indicate i’ve got it in an incorrect directory ?

    when I access the file it doesn’t run I just open it to see the following

    Any help would be much appreciated
    ‘w1093’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘ltl874CZZ986’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

    // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
    $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

    // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’
    // to enable German language support.
    define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

    /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
    ?>

  • for starters, I hope that wasnt your real MySQL username and password– NEVER post a password to a public site, EVER.

    Look inside your wp-config.php – compare it to the sample inside the zip. Look specifically at these lines:

    <?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');    // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'username');     // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');    // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
.......
.......

    Either you had a bad paste up above or you edited out stuff inside wp-config.php thats necessary.

    We need to know which before going any further.

    The fact thats its accessable via your ftp and not your www is due to you having uploaded to the wrong place.

    You uploaded your files to the root of your ftp, NOT the root of your website space within your ftp — your website space is going to be inside another directory on your ftp — and named something like httpdocs, public_html, etc..
