You’re right Tim. I ended up just biting the bullet and pointing the nameservers to the new IP and quickly importing the wordpress XML file once they went live. We don’t get a terrible lot of traffic, so was no big issue in the end…

Thanks for all your advice! Cheers…

I’ve just tried a fresh download and installation as suggested, but with the same result.

I’ve also tried viewing a non-PHP file (/license.txt) and it also returns a 404 error, so we can definitely rule out this only being a PHP related issue…

Any further advice / suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your help so far Tim!

I do have PHPMyAdmin in cPanel, so that answers that question…

At this stage I haven’t pointed the nameservers at this new location as I’ve got an existing wordpress (.com) site that is running and I want to get this install sorted out before pointing the domain at the new setup.

The new IP address is 174.122.109.98 so I’ve just been trying to access 174.122.109.98/wp-admin/install.php or /wp-config.php

Thanks again.

Yes, I uploaded the files to public_html. I’ve sent a message to the hosting provider to find out if it’s already set up for PHP – that might be the problem…

One other question, when I try to view the files, does ‘public_html’ show up in the URL? For example, do I go to https://www.mydomain.com/public_html/wp-admin/install.php or is public_html not required in the URL… until now I’ve tried both each time, but obviously get a 404 for each!! ??

Thanks
