Problem installing WP

When you unzipped the download, did it form 4 folders and everal files ?

The address would be wp-admin too, not wp_admin (though that’s probably just a typo here)

Yes, that is a typo. And yes, when I unzipped the download, it did form 4 folders and several files. I ftp’d all up to account.

Didn’t you make the same typo when putting the URI in the address line?

No, I had copy/pasted it…

hmmm.. from where?
Where did you find the https://www.yoursite/blog/wp-admin/install.php address to copy it?

I copied it from Step #5 and pasted it into my URL. In other words, I put in my URL up to that point, then pasted the rest. At any rate, I’m not even sure I filled in the wp-config.php file at this point. Here’s what it has:
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘alittlem_wpblog’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘alittlem_wpblog’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘*****’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’

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

/* Stop editing */

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

Note: I created a database in my control panel called “wpblog” before running wp-admin/install.php – I just don’t know why I’m not getting the admin and password so I can login!

I suspect it’s the upload location ?
If you want to email me with some ftp details, I’ll take a look for you.

Upload location? Could be… I uploaded everything into https://&#8230;..com/blog. Should it have been loaded to the index?

Sorry, I’m fairly new at this forum — where do I find your email?

Will do – what info will be helpful to send you?

The ftp address / username / password
I can then check what files are where and if needed move any around. I’ll mail you back with my IM details so we can get this sorted smoothly and quickly.
(And your details are safe – I’ve done this loads of times ?? 0
