double check your /wordpress/ directory and make sure the file is there and that you didn't accidently rename the file something other than wp-config.php

if Windows was hiding your extensions (so .php was already there just hidden) -
you might've renamed it wp-config.php.php
if Windows was hiding your extensions (so .php was already there just hidden)yeah, that happens to me all the time..but I usually notice it and fix the ending .php.txt or .php.php in the FTP client then hehe.. Dgold, not sure..but is there a setting in Windows to have extensions un-hidden? Maybe I'm just not looking too hard or something... =/ Nah, I just didn't look period lmao!!

Posted 3 years ago #Yeah.... open My Computer. Click on the Tools option in the Menubar. Click on Folder Options. Click on View.
Check the radio button next to Show hidden files and folders. UNCHECK the box next to Hide extensions for known file types. UNCHECK the box next to Hide protected operating sytem files.
Tell MS where to go and what to do with themselves when they get there.

Posted 3 years ago #I get the following error There doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn't work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.When I go to url/blog/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php. I have created a database named wordpress, I have edited the wp-config-sample.php file and renamed it to wp-config.php. I double checked the file does not have an additional php on the suffix. I am between and betwixed. Any help would be greatly apprciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Posted 3 years ago #is your wp-config.php sitting directly in the wordpress folder? (i know it might seem like a stupid question, but you never know... )
-
Posted 3 years ago #Yes it is.

Posted 3 years ago #The only thing I can think of is that it might be corrupted somehow. You might want to delete it and upload a new one (either re-download WP or try it with the current one in your folder on your machine)...

While re-uploading, check the permissions on it and make sure that the ownership/permissions are such that the web server process can "see" it.
