Hi Ipstenu,
This link was just an example. Off course I changed ‘example.com’ and ‘corporateblog’. But it still doesn’t work.
🙁

Two things. Under point 4, was the result three folders in the root and a bunch of files or do you have a “wordpress” folder and then three subfolders and a bunch of files?
Under 5, there is no such thing as wp-admin.php. wp-admin is a folder, not a file.
Roy,
@4: I copied the bunch of files from the wordpress-folder from my desktop, to a new folder ‘corporateblog’, which I made under the httpdocsfolder (where I see files named as apps, batch, cache, config, data, doc, lib, log, plugins, web).
@5: okay, I got your point (and ipstenu’s point as well). http://example.com/corporateblog/wp-admin/install.php didn’t work either.
Thx

Eh? You’re not trying to install WP in a folder where is already something else?
You should have only three folders “wp-admin”, “wp-content” and “wp-includes” and a bunch of wp files. No, apps, batch, cache, data, doc or whatever. Just compare your server with the unzipped WP download.
Oops, actually I did try to install it in the httpdocs-directory.
The point is filezilla reports ‘permission denied’ if I try to make a new directory ‘corporateblog’ in the / root. So where else can I install WP?
Thx again.
From your list, I recommend trying the /web/ directory. Unfortunately, the name of the web root directory varies depending on hosting provider, so I’m not sure if that’s right, but it seems like the most logical possibility.
Ok James,
here is what’s in my list: anon_ftp, bin, cgi-bin, conf, error_docs, httpdocs, httpdocs.bak, httpsdocs, pd, private, statistics, subdomains, web_users. My host told me httpdocs was the root directory. So that should be correct, shouldn’t it?
Roy

Yes, but what is in that httpdocs ‘folder’?
Well, if /httpdocs/ really is your web root directory, then anything uploaded to it should be accessible via your domain.
In the httpdocs I see:
directories such as apps, batch, cache, config, data, doc, lib, log, plugins, web,
+ three files,
+ the /corporateblog/ directory I made.
In there, I see exactly the same wordpress-content as is on the unzipped WP download:
26 files, 3 folders.
However, now I notice the size is not the same. Left (desktop)=247.585 bytes. Right (server)=247.124 bytes. Has it something to do with this?

There should be nothing in the root than the three WP folders and files. Perhaps James is right and everything should be in the “web” subfolder. Just make a simple html index.html file with some random text, upload it and see if you see that page at example.com/corporateblog
Btw, it might actually help if you just gave the real url.
[edit] Ah, you made a subfolder yourself. The WP files are in that subfolder or directly in httpdocs?
Okay, if it helps:
http://ideeweb.be/communicatiestatie/wp-admin/install.php
Just uploaded an index.hmtl file and it doesn’t appear on http://ideeweb.be/communicatiestatie
[edit] Ah, you made a subfolder yourself. The WP files are in that subfolder or directly in httpdocs?
Yes I made a subfolder /communicatiestatie/ myself. And the WP files are IN that subfolder.
Thx guys, I am getting closer. 😉
Try moving the /communicatiestatie/ directory into the /httpdocs/web/ directory.
