    downloaded the file changed the code to match my sql for 1and1.
    uploaded all the files under WordPress to 1 and 1 ftp account
    now getting the 404 message

    website is excapeapparel.com
    i set up a new directory as news because i want the blog as the subdomain of my website under excapeapparel.com/news

    any ideas ? the only thing i can think of is that the is a confusion with the code between the page excapeapparel.com/news.html

    i also want my nav bar on that wordpress page if possible… ?

    thanks for the help

    what file did you download?

    This is a file folder and actually when you try to access it you get a forbidden message. You need to check the file permissions on the folder and make sure they are set correctly. Here’s a link that may help you out:

    hi jazar411,

    Thanks for getting back to us. It’s important to understand what you did. You said you downloaded a file, what kind of file? Was this the .zip file for the installation? Did you follow the instructions to install wordpress? WordPress is much more than just a file.

    When you install WordPress you should be uploading the files and running the /install file to walk you through the process of installing WordPress. I’d suggest starting over and following the directions to install WordPress here:

    You need to edit the post you just put up and change your database credentials. You should never post your database credentials in an open forum. The issue is not with the database, the error you are getting is due to file ownership and permissions. I strongly recommend you change your database credentials if these are the ones you are currently using as this has the potential to compromise your website’s security.

    I tested the connection to see and the error is showing up as a 10060 MYSQL error, which appears to be a permissions issue with the database user. When you created the database user did you assign the user all privileges?
