Hello again, sorry for the late reply, I thought I would get back and let you know that the issue has been fixed ??

I did try your suggestion of installing on the public root folder, but this didnt seem to work for me.

As I couldnt get the installer to work from here I contacted my host provider InnoHosting and they installed it for us on the shared server space.

Apperently according to them, a password error in wp-config.php was causing WordPress installer to not see the database correctly.

I did find this strange, as we doubled checked this information was correct before hand and yet it was apperently wrong … Its possible that because I has multiple wordpress install folders in different locations on are server space, I could have been editing the wrong config file.

Anyway thank you for your help!

From what I can tell the wordpress folders are in the right place, hense why the ftp can see them in the index and attempts to run the instal.php file when looked up in a brouser.

The root directory contains:

– .cpaddons
– .cpanel
-.fantaaticodata
– .htpasswods
-.trash
– access-logs
– etc
– mail
– public_ftp
– public_html
– tmp
– wp-admin
– wp-content
– wp-includes
– www
-.bash)logout
-.bash_profile
-.contactemail
-ftpquota
– gemrc
– .lastlogin
– cpbackup-excludes….
– index.php
– wp-activate.php
– wp-app.php
-wp-blog-header.php
– wp-comments-post…
– wp-config.php
– wp-cron.php
– wp-links-opml.php
– wp-load.php
– wp-login.php
– wp-mail.php
– wp-settings.php
– wp-signup.php
– wp-traceback.php
– xmlrpc.php

As I mentioned my ftp can see the files but we cant run the install file on are brouser (the latest firefox) without running into either the not found 404 or php not installed errors.

I have contacted are host provider to see if they can install it for us at there end and the we can attempt to login and do what we need to do from here.

Hello, I opened it and drag all the folders and .php files to the root domain folder. I can see them in there, they are not in a wordpress folder. I can see them in my ftp ( such as wp-content and wp-admin etc) under all the other folders I have ( like cPanel and www etc).

Hi Brandon, I think you might be on to something here, but it does not seem to have gone through as I cant log on to it via FileZilla.

Is it possible that are FTP Hostname has been stopped propagating because its already in use with another hosting service as a current website?

If so, would I therefore have to transfer it over to the hosting provider I want to use for WordPress first?

Thanks

Ok so I managed to move forward with the issue, I copied the correct install.php file path by right clicking on the file on server in FileZilla ( my FTP). It looks like this:

ftp://**.**.***.***/blog/wp-admin/install.php

Its taken me to the correct wordpress login page, however:

” Error: PHP is not running

WordPress requires that your web server is running PHP. Your server does not have PHP installed, or PHP is turned off.”

I was also told that I am a super admin and I should buy a cape? Weird.

Hi Richard, Thanks for the link its what I’ve been refering to but Im still stuck.

I understand I should use https://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php, this still doesnt work for me ( I think because my domain name still needs time to propagate?) and Im currently using a temporary FTP HostName which is a random IP address.

Any one had any experience with installing wordpress on a temporary FTP hostname?

Thanks
