Not going to finishing the installation

then I’m about out of ideas :(. Anything else I can check? I don’t know where to go from here…..

nevermind…I got it to work ?? Thanks SO much for all your help!! I appreciate it!

youre welcome!! great job btw, youve showed a resiliency thats in short supply around here. :))

Okay, so when I finally got the screen to pop up last night to install wordpress, I logged off my computer and went to bed. I woke up this morning to install it and now it says “Already Installed
You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.” Could someone else have gone in and installed it? What do I do?

yeap, thats prolly what happened.

go back into cpanel, follow all the clickthroughs to get to phpmyadmin, and remove all the tables in the database.

Once I do that, do I type in the same web adress and just start the installation from the beginning? In other words, after deleting the tables, if I go back to the website, will it be in the exact format it was last night to install it?

once you delete the tables inside the database, not the database itself, but the tables, you will be right back where you were before you went to sleep ??

I have similar problem. I have reinstalled wp twice and mysql base too… Everything stops at that ‘404 not found’ error.

Is it possible that “PHP safe mode off” is required to install wordpress on the server? My web hosting provider says that many of the users say that they have problems with addons as they require safe mode off?

Ok, I have solved my problem with help of web hosting provider support:

i put wp files in the ‘blog’ folder on the server, but i forgot to put it in ‘public_html folder…

in the line for activation of install just leave the public_html out of the url, like https://www.myblog.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php although it is in the public_html folder and it should be https://www.myblog.com/public_html/blog/wp-admin/install.php … or at least i thought so…
