I'm hoping someone can help:
I installed Movabletype, hated it and uninstalled it (I just removed the files from my server). I then downloaded and installed WordPress. However, when I get to the step in the installation that says to go to, "www.example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php", I receive this error:
Not Found
The requested URL /cgi-bin/php/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
The WP directory IS NOT located in my CGI-BIN, it is located in www directory on the server.
I have to assume that this error is stemming from the orginal MovableType install, but cannot figure out how to fix it. I've looked for a .htaccess file that might be doing some forwarding or something like that, but have not found one.
Conversely, I can create a directory in the same place as my WP directory, upload a page into the new directory, and view it. I only receive this error when trying to access the /wp-admin/install.php file.
Thank you for any and all help on this topic.
