Is everything in one folder, or do you have 4 folders and some files in the WP directory on your server?
(BTW, no cgi needed for WP)
The DB name and DB user is probably wrong…
I didn’t see a cgi file anywhere..
WordPress is written in PHP. There will be no CGI files. 😉
As for your config.php, check that you really did upload it and put it in the right place:
http://mandyanne.dkmhosting.com/wordpress/wp-config.php
^^ That’s a 404.
When you made the wp-config, I assume you used the sample, did you remember to rename it?
If the DB name or user was wrong, it would say that.
Thanks for all the help! It’s still not working, but my dbuser name and such was wrong, I went into cpanel and got that info, now it looks like this:
My wp-config.php file looks like this:
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘mandyannedkmhostingcom’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘mandyannedkmhostingcom’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘*****’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
Then I re-uploaded the file to my server. When I upload, there is a file already there called images, and then some other files like index.html. Those were already there, I did not create them. So right beside them is my wordpress folder with all the wordpress files in it.
Regarding the file itself, I did rename it, but I didn’t delete the old one. So there is a wp-config-sample.php in the wp folder and then a wp-config.php file (as it looks above) in the folder.
What else could I have done wrong?
sorry, I forgot to paste the right one, my wp-config.php file looks like this:
My wp-config.php file looks like this:
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘mandyanne_dkmhosting_com’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘mandyanne_dkmhosting_com’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘*****’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
So right beside them is my wordpress folder with all the wordpress files in it.
That’s fine, but inside the wordpress folder are there 4 folders and some files?
Yes, there is 4 folders and some files within my wordpress folder.
And the wp-config file is among those “some files”?
I know.. but it is in the place where you say it’s supposed to be. I don’t get it.
I just re-uploaded it and it still isn’t working (404). Any ideas anyone?
Check the file name for typos, upper/lower case…
Oh my god. I feel so dumb. Because I edited the file I had a .txt extension on the file that I couldn’t see in my ftp! Ahh thanks for the help! Unfortunately, apparently my db info is wrong..
Best to contact your host probably at this point.
