Title: Access/Installation Issue Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Access/Installation Issue * [mkileysweeney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkileysweeney/) * (@mkileysweeney) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessinstallation-issue/) * I have tried installing WordPress (twice – both 3.04 and 3.03) and as far as WordPress goes it says it is installed on my site. However when I get to the log-in page and login using name and password rather than get the administration part of WordPress – I get redirected to a “Page Not Found” on my actual domain. I host with Lunarpages and this is the second WordPress blog on the site – although that should certainly not cause any issues. * If I go to reinstall ([http://www.yoursfaithfully.ca/blog/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.yoursfaithfully.ca/blog/wp-admin/install.php)) it says that it is already installed yet I cannot access it. I click on Login and type username and password and again get redirected to this page: [http://yoursfaithfully.ca/blog/wp-admin/](http://yoursfaithfully.ca/blog/wp-admin/) * Any suggestions?

If the problem goes away, activate them individually to find the culprit. If you don’t have access to your admin area, try deactivating them [manually](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F) via FTP or phpMyAdmin. * [Smitherinez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smitherinez/) * (@smitherinez) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessinstallation-issue/#post-1841234) * I am also being redirected to a “Page Not Found”. I am hosted on Site5 and installed WordPress 3.0.3 using Fantastico. I can view the site files using Filezilla and I can see that the WP files are indeed on the server. I tried manually deactivating the plugins but this didn’t help. * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessinstallation-issue/#post-1841309) * see if this [thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-problem-via-fantastico?replies=14) helps. * Thread Starter [mkileysweeney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkileysweeney/) * (@mkileysweeney) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessinstallation-issue/#post-1841386) * Thanks I will let you know when I solve it. I have tried deactivating all the plugins but unfortunately that did not help. * [Smitherinez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smitherinez/) * (@smitherinez) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessinstallation-issue/#post-1841387) * Apparently my problem is that my nameservers aren’t pointed to my new hosting company. Once I get that straightened out I will let you know if the problem is solved. * Thread Starter [mkileysweeney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkileysweeney/) * (@mkileysweeney) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessinstallation-issue/#post-1841441) * Interestingly enough I attempted to do another install onto a separate domain hosted alongside the other and this one worked fine. It was directly onto the domain – ie [http://www.speckles.ca](http://www.speckles.ca). Yet when I repeated the other one onto yoursfaithfully.ca/blog I had the same issue ie the redirection to “Page Not Found”. Does this highlight anything in particular for anyone? * Thread Starter [mkileysweeney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkileysweeney/) * (@mkileysweeney) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessinstallation-issue/#post-1841460) * I have read through some previous posts but unfortunately am still no closer to solving this one. Any help would be appreciated. * [krub_6995680](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krub_6995680/) * (@krub_6995680) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessinstallation-issue/#post-1841464) * Thread Starter [mkileysweeney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkileysweeney/) * (@mkileysweeney) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessinstallation-issue/#post-1841470) * Was there meant to be a reply above? * [Smitherinez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smitherinez/) * (@smitherinez) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessinstallation-issue/#post-1841472) * Okay, I can’t change the nameservers until the new site is ready to go, but I found out that I can see the front end of the site if I go to [http://174.121.246.162/~projects/](http://174.121.246.162/~projects/) * However, I am still unable to get into the back end!! I just get a 404 error. 🙁 * Thread Starter [mkileysweeney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkileysweeney/) * (@mkileysweeney) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accessinstallation-issue/#post-1841562) * Well after no help was given here I asked Lunarpages for assistance. * It appears the permalink code was missing. Once this was added the blog was immediately accessible through the administration area of WordPress.
