I am trying to install wordpress as a CMS for a website http://www.everythingcovered.co.uk.
I have followed the instructions, created the wp-config.php with the correct database details and uploaded all the files to the my site using filezilla.
On the homepage of the site there is lots of gobbledegook:
http://www.everythingcovered.co.uk/
On the http://www.everythingcovered.co.uk/httpdocs folder (where the wordpress files are uploaded to) there is a 404 error:
Not Found
The requested document was not found on this server.
I'm using Plesk web hosting.
Any ideas?!
If you go here: http://www.everythingcovered.co.uk/index.html, you'll see a landing page (pointing to httpdocs/index.html) When you go to http://www.everythingcovered.co.uk it isn't loading index.html by default - it is loading this other page (it looks like it is called "rzx8PkmV.htm.part.htm" - but that could be wrong).
See if you can set index.php as the default page to load when going to your site.
which folder did you upload the files to?
Usually you should upload to a folder called public_html
if it is a subfolder of public_html then your site address will be youdomain.com/subfoldername
