did you install wordpress using the localhost url?
look in the source of the front page. what are the urls you see?
Hi,
Sorry for not responding earlier. I am not quite sure of what you mean by: did you install wordpress using the localhost url, is this a config file setting or where would I have entered this information? Would this be in the wp-config.php file?
When you refer to the front page, which of the files are you referring to? I have looked at a few of the files and find that one usually tells me to look at another. So right now I still can’t find the page containing the urls.
I am going to examine my wp-config.php file in more detail to see if I can figure out where I have gone wrong. Let me know if you have any other ideas or can clarify the items I have mentioned.
thnx
Gary
did you install wordpress using the localhost url
Did you rdp’ into the box, open a browser on that server, and proceed to to install using the localhost url, as opposed to the actual domain name?
localhost install would have used a url containing the string localhost, like you used above. The other would have used the real, resolvable, domain name.
that’s what I’m asking 🙂
front page == front of the blog.
Hi,
Thanks again for the prompt response. I think I now understand what you are asking and yes I suppose I did install using the localhost url. And I now can see why that would be a problem so I will attempt to re-install and see how it goes.
Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated. I will let you know how I make out.
Hi,
Well I don’t know if I am progressing or regressing. I have tried to do a re-install using the real domain name. Problem is now after I enter the name of the blog and my email address in the first step I am getting the following IIS error:
The page cannot be displayed
You have attempted to execute a CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to be executed.
——————————————————————————–
Please try the following:
Contact the Web site administrator if you believe this directory should allow execute access.
HTTP Error 403.1 – Forbidden: Execute access is denied.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
I have tried allowing execute access for the folder from within IIS for both the wordpress folder and the wordpress/wp-admin folders but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
Any other ideas?
thnx
Gary
