Intallation problem

    I have installed WordPress many times, always using the ‘five minute’ installation method and never had a problem.

    My client doesn’t have this option with her host, so I have created a database, edited the necessary files and uploaded via ftp.

    Everything appears to have uploaded fine and the folders appear to have all of the relevant files. However, when trying to get into the site the home page just shows the ‘public html’ folder and the following message:
    “Apache/2.213 (Unix) PHP/5.2.10 mod_ssl/2.2.13 OpenSSL/0.9.7e-pl Server at digitalmarketing.pt Port 80”

    Any ideas anyone?

    Many thanks.

    Regards.

    Ian

    See if the script at Finding_Server_Info works. If so then you might need to review where you are putting the WordPress files. If public_html is the web-root folder you will typically FTP the WordPress files into that folder.

    See Installing WordPress and Uploading WordPress to a remote host.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I think I know what the issue is now but certainly don’t know how to resolve it.

    There appears to be no root folder in this hosting account (it’s not a hosting company I’ve used before). They are based in Portugal and because it’s Good Friday there’s NOBODY providing any form of support today.

    Anyhow, there’s no Public_html root folder or anything else apparent as a root folder. I’m totally baffled. Any other ideas anyone?

    Thanks.

    Depends on the host. Sometimes public_html is the web-root folder, sometimes it htdocs, sometimes it whatever the folder is that the host’s file manager gives you access to.

    If your host offers Fantastico then public_html is likely the web-root folder.

    If you continue this thread list the host company and the domain your are using.
