Ok, just selected the files individually and uploaded them. All files are now directly in the squeaky hill rot folder but im still getting this message ; https://www.squeakyhill.com/

Ive been researching what the problem may be and its led me to a couple of questions…

Firstly a cause of the problem may be that it is a windows platform and not linux. I have emailed one and one to ask which platform it is as its not my account so i wasnt part of the set up.

Apparently when you use 1and1.co.uk for wordpress you must change the host name in wp-config from locl host to the mySQL database host name given to you in the setup.

Secondly, in the servers control panel there is a local php settings option and everything is turned to ‘off’. Is that how it should be?

Could any of these things be causing the database error?

Ive spent about 13 hours in total trying to get this installed now and i have no idea what im doing wrong.

Ok thanks ChristiNi

I’ll start by deleting everything besides the squeaky hill root folder

Should i put all of my new wordpress files into a public_html folder on my computer? The problem ive been having is i cant uploaded a group of files in filezilla unless they are already in a folder so ive been uploading all of wordpress to the server as the public_html folder?

Sorry if im being extremely dumb with this, i really do appreciate your help.

Cheers

Hi ChristiNi

Thanks for your response!

Ive double checked all of the info in wp-config.php and changed the host to ‘local host’

I understand what your saying about the public_html folder but by typing in the address- https://www.squeakyhill.com/public_html/ im able to see some sort of confirmation that wordpress is being regognised, even though it doesnt apprea to be working.

I know have a different message….

Warning: require_once(/homepages/36/d126298906/htdocs/squeaky hill/public_html/wp-settings.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/36/d126298906/htdocs/squeaky hill/public_html/wp-config.php on line 90

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/homepages/36/d126298906/htdocs/squeaky hill/public_html/wp-settings.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php5′) in /homepages/36/d126298906/htdocs/squeaky hill/public_html/wp-config.php on line 90

I have literally no idea what this means though!!

I seem to have placed the wordpress files in the correct place but now im faced with this message ; Error establishing a database connection

If anyone can help id be eternally grateful

Ive also tried this path and get the same error 404 message.

https://www.squeakyhill.com/squeaky%20hill/public_html/install.php

My wordpress files are currently in this folder path…

Squeaky hill – public_html – then all the wordpress files are lose in here

So lost with this…

By the way the only things i changed on the wp-config.php where –

DB name
DB user name
DB password
DB host

Authentication Unique Keys and Salts (by copy and pasting the new info from – https://api.www.ads-software.com/secret-key/1.1/salt/)

Should anything else have been changed on this file or any other wordpress file?

Hi ChristiNi,

Am i right in thinking i should be going to this web address (as my site is https://www.squeaky hill.com) –
https://www.squeakyhill.com/squeaky_hill/install.php

It just displays the message error 404 – not found

In side my squeaky hill root folder where exactly should the wordpress files be stored? Ive tried within public_html and out. Really feel like ive hit a dead end with this now!

Is there any other vital part i may have missed out?

Thanks for all the help so far.

Esmi- Ive not seen any options to run a wordpress install yet.

ChristiNi – I have uploaded the entire content of wordpress into its own folder. The reason i did this was because i wanted a holding page to appear whilst the site was under construction. I’ll sort out the filezilla issue and see what happens when i move the wordpress files into the root folder.

Thanks for your responses!
