even tried installing a php directory in the cgi-bin file. but do not have permission
Why are you trying to install WordPress in your cgi-bin? It needs to be installed in your web root.
i didn’t i installed it “public_html/wp”
i have no idea why the cgi-bin and or php folder come into play
The requested URL /cgi-bin/php/wp/wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server.
This suggests you tried to install it in your cgi-bin.
the cgi-bin is protected by qwest. but i checked to be sure and it’s installed in “public_html/wp” wp is the folder i made for it
Just stated over if you give me 2 seconds i’ll let you know what it does
ok started over from the top.
downloaded 2.9.2
extracted to local folder wp
ftp’ed it to public_html folder
ran “www.peakpropertytelluride.com/wp-admin/install.php”
get error”
Not Found
The requested URL /cgi-bin/php/wp/wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

just don’t understand. (never even touched the cgi-bin folder)
Ok – I think this warrants a chat with your hosts. It looks like there’s something weird going on with regard to PHP on the server.
i’m sure the tech department left for the day. I’ll have to call them in the morning.
thanks for your help. hopefully they can tell me what going on. If not i’m sure you will hear from me again.
Trying to get this setup for a small business ( property maintenance company)
did end up being at the host server. they forgot to activate PHP
