• I installed my WordPress on a MySQL database. I tried going to the install.php file, and it just says 404. Help? I think it might be because I put database instead of localhost. But that’s what the host told me to do!

    <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘jakelin1’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘jakelin1’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXl’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘database’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

    // Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
    $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’

    // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’
    // to enable German language support.
    define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

    /* Stop editing */

    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
    ?>

  • Have you tried putting localhost instead of database?

    Having the wrong data in the config won’t cause a 404. If you’re getting a 404 when trying to go to install.php that means it isn’t there. Did you try uploading it again? Or making sure you are trying to go to the right directory?

    Yes, I’ve tried every possibility from changing passwords, deleting the database, uploading it again, using /cgi-bin instead of /cgi in URL. Do you guys have AIM screen names or EMail address I can contact you guys by? I need some Tech Support :-\

    Why are you putting it in the cgi folder?

    Where should I put it? There’s a WWW folder and a cgi one. From your previous message im guessing the WWW one.

    No still didn’t work. I give up.

    You reuploaded everything? Did everything get uploaded in the proper structure? There should be a couple folders. If everything all got uploaded as just one folder, then it won’t work.
