Warning and fatal error message trying to install WordPress

  • I am attempting to install wordpress on my server. I have used wordpress in the past. I host my site’s on Godaddy andI have setup my database, FTP’d all of my files to the server and cannot access my install.php file. Here is the link for the location where I have installed my wordpress files.

    https://donellevance.com/msft/wp-admin/install.php

    This is the information I am getting when I try to follow the instructions in the read me file, step 3; Installation: Famous 5-minute installreadme.html file.

  • Why don’t you just use the one button install that godaddy provides?

    Yes, what wslade said–use 1-click install. But I’m wondering why you used FTP at all. Are you moving a website? As a general rule, FTPing is not a good choice if you are moving a site. There are internal references to the old location that won’t be recognized in the new location. So if you want to move a website, you either need to go into the code and fix all the locations, or use a utility that copies/migrates the site, which includes making these internal changes.

    It looks like your FTP program hasn’t uploaded all of the files to your server. I’d download a fresh copy of WordPress, and re-upload everything, and keep an eye out for any errors that your FTP program shows during the process.
