    Hi.

    I have just uploaded the WordPress folder to a newly bought webohtel (domain is still not assigned but will be within a few days).

    Upload went fine and the folder is placed in /public_html/

    When I try to direct Google Chrome to http://heres-my-IP/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php I am told that Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to heres-my-IP

    Am I doing something completely wrong?

    Sincerely

    Andreas

    Andreas,

    You don’t need to type public_html in url. Try just:
    http://heres-my-IP/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php

    That gives me the same result.

    Are there any safety issues that should stop me from posting the Ip here?

    I mean… Wouldn`t it make it easier for you guys to help me?

    AndreasDK,

    It’s ok to post domain names and IPs. But it doesn’t required here. If your IP is shared (not dedicated), then it’s impossible to access your website with http://IPaddress/. Contact hosting support, may be there’s a temporary url exist like: http://server.com/~username/

    Okay.

    The temp url is http://79.170.44.141/burningbush.dk/
    As said the files are in /public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php

    Still cannot access anything.
    With or without /public_html

    Just got a mail from the webhost who says that some scripts will not work while they`re on the temp URL but should work when the domain gets registered.

    🙂

    AndreasDK,

    Then you should wait until your domain name will be up and try to install wordpress then.

    The domain is now active and the files are still in /public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php

    Can anyone take a look and see if you can access the file?

    Right now (from a friend`s PC using IE9 I only get a blank screen when trying to access http://burningbush.dk/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php

    AndreasDK,

    Turn on display_errors for php. You can do it using php.ini or htaccess file (depends on host). Contact hosting support and they will help you to enable display errors. Then access your website again and you’ll see error message. This message will help you to identify the source of a problem. Once you fix it, don’t forget to turn display_errors off.
