    I have successfully installed WordPress. I edited and renamed the sample wp-config.php file. I uploaded the directories as they were unzipped to my server. The installation process had no problems, and I can access the admin panel (i.e. I can post, add categories, etc, etc). However, when I try to access the actual page, I receive the following error:

    There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.

    However, when I click on the “You can create… interface” option, the server (correctly) indicates that:

    The file ‘wp-config.php’ already exists. If you need to reset any of the configuration items in this file, please delete it first. You may try installing now.

    Any ideas? I apologize if this question has been asked, but I didn’t see it when I searched. Also: let me know if additional info is needed.

    Best, CR

  • when I try to access the actual page
    What the actual page would be? It is always a good idea to provide a link to the WP site.

    It’s strange. The wp-config.php obviously is there since you can access the admin panel:

    The question is why the wp-blog-header.php file doesn’t “see it”?

    It’s odd.

    I changed the wp-config file so that I no longer received a line 20 error (and could therefore run the install program).

    /* Stop editing */

    define(‘ABSPATH’, ‘/shootan/public_html/britain/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
    ?>

    Could that be confusing something? I tried to change it back to the original coding, but then I get a line 20 error.

    Well, when it says “stop editing”…
    What error do you get? on line 20?

    Fatal error: Failed opening required ‘//wp-settings.php’ (include_path=”) in //wp-config.php on line 20

    Well, I saw another post in which such a fix was described (i.e. edit that line). It made the install work…

    I’ve completely reinstalled the program for the third time.
    https://www.shootangle.com/history

    I even deleted the wp-config.php file and made it through the web interface. Still:
    – I get the above listed line 20 error for the wp-admin/install.php program.
    – The main directory (/history) indicates that there is no wp-config.php.

    Any thoughts?
