   I need help. I am new here. I have already installed wordpress and uploaded the files through FTP. If you click on http://www.creativepoints.net/wordpress/wp-admin/, I get directed to my web hosting company. What shall I do? how can I access the admin site?

   please help.

   Looks like there is no wp-admin folder there double check if you have wp-admin folder in wordpress folder along with wp-includes and wp-content.

   the wordpress opens fine
   http://www.creativepoints.net/wordpress
   That page you go is 404 page that your host has set.

   When I click on the wordpress folder, there are 3 subfolders (wp-admin, wp-includes and wp-content). When I click those folders, I could see all the files. I don't know what to do next.

   Try adding this to the top of a .htaccess file in the same directory as the wp-load.php file:

   DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

   @MacManX - sorry, I do not understand. What is that .htaccess file?

   Use a plain text editor to create a text file called just .htaccess (no extension) with the above content, then use an FTP or SFTP client to access your server and upload it to the same directory as the wp-load.php file.

    James, need your help again please. I went to settings and remove "wordpress" from the site URL. Now, everytime I go to http://www.creativepoints.net/wp-login.php, I get Error: 404.

    please help.

    You'll have to access your WordPress database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel) and manually change the siteurl and home values to http://www.creativepoints.net/wordpress

    When you're done, follow this guide to move WordPress.

    Thanks for the post on this problem! You saved me so much trouble. I accidentally changed my site URL (it's way too easy to do), and your solution was just what I needed.
