    Hi, I think I am close to getting this operational, but I get my wordpress directory, if I try to open install.php I get this;

    404 Not found
    Warning: require_once(/etc/wordpress/config-thecomingdays.com.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php on line 16

    Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/etc/wordpress/config-thecomingdays.com.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear’) in /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php on line 16

    If I go to wp-config.php I also get this;

    04 Not found
    Warning: require_once(/etc/wordpress/config-thecomingdays.com.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php on line 16

    Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/etc/wordpress/config-thecomingdays.com.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear’) in /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php on line 16

    Any ideas?

    The important thing for you to decide before you install is will my blog be at thecomingdays/wordpress or at the thecomingdays/?

    When you decide that, reinstall WP in the correct directory and get rid of all the WP files in the wrong directory.

    It might be a good idea to review the install instructions.

    I followed your recommendations, this is what I get from;
    http://63.230.65.164/wp-admin/install.php
    Not Found

    The requested URL /wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server.
    Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) Server at 63.230.65.164 Port 80

    This is what I get from this URL;
    http://63.230.65.164/wordpress
    Not Found

    The requested URL /wordpress was not found on this server.
    Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) Server at 63.230.65.164 Port 80

    Is it my PHP that is’nt running or do I have permission problems? How do I troubleshoot this?

    You tried to installed WP into two different directories (folders) again. Why? If you can’t do it in one, you can’t do it in two or a dozen. If you want your blog to be here, thecomingdays.com, then install in the root directory. If you want your blog to be here, thecomingdays/wordpress then install in a directory called wordpress.

    I belive you are hosted at GoDaddy? Read this . . .

    WordPress has nver been installed. That seems to be the problem. The tar file was untarred to /var/www/wordpress. That is the only place I find it. I don’t understand why you say it is installed twice?? I seems that my system will not launch the .php. Am I not seeing what you are?

    I said it was installed twice as you were looking in two different places (the 2 URLs in your message) so I thought you installed it in two different places.

    The way I do it and it has worked many times. I unzip the current version on my computer. I ftp the WordPress files to my host using Fire FTP for FireFox. That way I can make sure the files are going where they should as I can see the files at my host (server) and on my computer. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress again.

    If you are moving WP to the server and then unziping or untaring don’t.
    Just follow the directions. If you have problems or don’t understand something stop – and come back to support with your question.
