    I cant find the wp-config.php file in my ftp agent.
    I know it should be found in the wp-catalogue but there are
    public_html in which i can find:
    wp-admin
    wp-content
    wp-includes

    But in which one of these is the wp-config.php file to be found?
    I looked through them all according to myself… without result.

    (I am using FileZilla as ftp program)

    Thankful for help!

  • This should be in your root (= public_html), or in the folder where you installed WordPress.

    If it’s a fresh install, it’s name could still be wp-config-sample.php. You should rename it, but I doubt you could have installed WP without renaming this before.

    Great I found it!
    Many thanks, i´m really bad in this but learning.
    Now, i can´t find the .htaccess file thats supposed to be in public.html – can that be, that it´s missing?

    You see, i changed what i had to chande in wp-config but now i can´t find this one… 🙁

    Impossible.

    yups, this one can be missing. In fact, it’s almost always missing. You can create one with a text editor with this content:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    Or with the new content as mentionned at the WPMU installation.

    in case you cannot save it as .htaccess, give it an other name and rename it in your FTP after uploading to your site.

    So I could add this in a normal wordpad document for example and then upload it in my ftp-agent to public_html?

    And that should be it? 🙂

    And as what kind of document do i save it in that case?

    rtf, xml, txt, unicode-text-document….???

    It won’t work with Wordpad, because this adds extra code, you’ll need to use Notepad – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notepad_(software)

    If you would not have that, or smth alike, I’d recommend EditPad Lite. http://www.editpadlite.com/

    ha, sorry didn’t see last question.
    the name is ‘.htaccess’, so it has no name, only an extension.

    Okey, thanks, downloading it right now.

    But I changed my wd-config in wordpad…. my support said i could…

    Will that be a problem?

    And in what kind of document do i save?

    Okey!!!

    if you make a new document with Notepad, you’ll can save it as ‘1.htaccess’ and delete the ‘1’ after uploading in your ftp program

    I think editing wp-config in Wordpad will give problems indeed… Perhaps open it in editpad to see if code was entered.
