 * Yes here it’s again. I have changed the various settings in the sample config
   and renamed it to config.php, then uploaded it, but when i run [http://www.robcoers.nl/wp/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.robcoers.nl/wp/wp-admin/install.php)
   i get the famous message of that config-file missing.
 * Due to X-mas holidays the ISP Helpdesk is closed. Can someone take a close look
   with me to what is wrong? I checked previous answers to this error in this forum,
   but none solved my problem. Preferably through an IM program.
 * Happy new year!
    Rob

 * It should be named ‘wp-config.php’
    Have you tried that ?

 * The problem isn’t the wp-config file:
    `http://www.robcoers.nl/wp/wp-admin/wp-
   admin/setup-config.php`
 * You’ve two /wp-admin/ in the path.

 * And is it in the wordpress directory (the directory in which index.php and wp-
   layout.css are stored)?

 * Yes it is, macmanx.
    And Podz, i don’t understand your msg about two wp-admin
   in the path, cause i only typed one… …/wp/wp-admin/install.php Do i have to change
   a line in that setup-config.php???

 * OK, well, i called with my ISP today and what i can reconstruct of our conversation
   is, that they do not allow this script to go up a level higher to execute it.
   So it all has to do with rights and security. And they are not going to change
   it either.
    Does that make sense to the developers? Rewrite some things? The 
   solution would only be, to look out for another hoster.

 * In that case, I highly recommend DreamHost. They even provide a one-click installation.

 * I prefer to stick to my current hosting provider, specially if you guys have 
   a solution 🙂
