404 Error Question

    New User. Everything set up fine with godaddy, but the problem I still keep having is that when I go to my main page, wwww.mydomain.com, the page does not automatically load my index.php file.

    After various attempts to correct the problem, I’m now getting the following error:

    Not Found
    The requested URL /index.php/wp-login.php was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    What did I do? Errr…maybe the better question is, how do I solve the index.php problem once and for all?

    [apologies in advance if this was posted somewhere else, but I couldn’t find anything relevant after multiple searches]

    thanks!!

    is that a mistyping, or do you actually have “wwww.mydomain.com”?

    it’s “www” – 3 “w”-s, not 4.

    If you’re getting a 404 error, that means the file isn’t on your server to be found. Check and be sure it’s uploaded to the server.

    The requested URL /index.php/wp-login.php looks whacky. Check this page, make sure you’re setting up the permalinks right:

    Ok, thanks for the response Yosemite. I tried the advice in the link you suggested without success. However, what I did find out was that there is no .htaccess file in my root directory.

    And I also remembered that in WP, I clicked on “Options” and changed my blog address and site address to read:

    http://www.mydomain.com/index.php

    I never got the 404 Error prior to doing this. But, I still haven’t been able to fix it.

    Now, I guess my problems are more involved. 1). Should I change my vars.php file back to what it originally was? 2). Now that I know (kinda) what I did wrong, is it possible to get back into WP and fix it? Or is there some fix I can do with my FTP Client? 3). What can I do about the no .htaccess file? (When I opened WP in the past and was screwing around with it, it said there was no .htaccess file on the server.)

    Thanks again….

    Try: http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/

    When you get back into admin, go to permalinks and confirm, then ‘refresh’ and follow instructions at bottom of page.
