Seeing as your style sheet gets a 404
http://mallentry.com/marketing/wp-content/themes/default/style.css
I think you didn’t install wordpress where you think you did.
Go in via SSH or FTP and make sure that your wordpress install is in marketing, and not another subfolder.
the word press install is in the subfolder marketing.
http://www.mallentry.com/marketing will give me an unformatted word press template.
Right because it can’t find http://mallentry.com/marketing/wp-content
Can you go in with shell or FTP and check that folder is there under /marketing?
yes it is, as is wp-includes
wp-content has plugins,themes,uploads in the folder
correction
755 at file folder level
644 inside the file folders
Are the folders owned by ‘you’?
Other than that, I’m not sure why it can’t see the folders… But that’s what’s causing this.
I’m not sure I know what you mean by owned? However my host is hostgator, I created using fatastico delux in the word press module. Everything is pretty automatic to get it installed. I have other wp sites working from earlier versions on mallentry.com.
In any event how do I correct the problem?
thanks

File ownership means which computer account ‘owns’ the files. You can get details here: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/filepermissions.html
Basically when you look at a file, it should tell you permissions and a ‘name’ like this:
Example.org: /home/www/$ ls -l
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 3 ipstenu ipstenu 80 2005-09-20 21:37 directory
-rw-r----- 1 ipstenu ipstenu 8187 2005-09-19 13:35 file
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ipstenu ipstenu 10348 2005-07-17 20:31 otherfile
The two ipstenus are me (user) and my group. Which isn’t a big deal, don’t worry 😉
Just sometimes things get weird when they’re installed by Fantastico and ‘nobody’ ends up owning files, which causes problems.
Well try this it will work 100%
http://yourdomain.com/wp-login
don’t use wp-admin
wp-admin has been replaced with wp-login in latest version of wordpress
wp-login is a redirect. wp-admin is a folder and should still work with any site, even with pretty permalinks turned off.
And either way, that ISN’T the issue. The install is looking for the wp-* folders under /marketing and can’t find ’em.
Watch, go to http://mallentry.com/marketing/wp-login and see the 404.
Best guess at this point is either the files aren’t owned right or something in .htaccess is munching it all.
Is there an .htaccess in the root of mallentry? The folder one up from marketing etc?
Hi Guys,
Im getting the same error 404 when trying to log on to my wordpress blog http://creativewebconcepts.com.au/blog (creative websites)
I am new to wordpress and someone else set it up for me so i am very lost. Please help I have been reading lots of posts on here and have tried a few thing but no change and I have since deleted and reinstalled my wordpress files to my ftp via filezilla but didnt work, i moved the files under www folder/directory and still not worked, i have moved them to public_html/blog folder and still not working….help Im sorry i am lost.
What originally happened is, that i had my blog directed to my web site and all was fine, i then uploaded in filezilla a test web site then deleted the redirect of my blog as it was connected to the web site and it was all working, but then i wanted to remove the test site and go back to just having my creative websites blog only – (creativewebconcepts.com.au/blog)back up and when i deleted the files from filezilla (but left some files) i think I deleted too much and now as above i have tried many diffrent ways and cant get it to work and dont know where to put it etc. I also tried to change the wp-config-sample to wp-config.php but i think i did that wrong too!!! I tried doing the wp-admin/install.php aswell and that didnt do anything either….sorry i do need your help.
this is the current error message;;;;
Not Found
The requested URL /blog/install.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I cant even get access to creativewebconcepts.com.au/wp-admin, have i deleted too much!! can i delete everything in filezilla and try again or????
I posted on here a few days ago and have had no response yet??
Thanks Natalie
