 * I uploaded all the wordpress files and I typed this in the browser:
    [http://www.d-ellements.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.d-ellements.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php)
 * to get started and I get an unfound error. I don’t know what’s wrong.

   That does, which indicates that all the files uploaded in one large mass. The
   unzip went wrong.
 * Delete all the files from the server – except wp-config.php
 * Unzip WordPress again, but this time make sure the unziping maintains folder 
   structure. You should end up with
    /wp-admin /wp-includes /wp-content /wp-images
   and then several files. Upload those and go for it 🙂

 * So when I upload all the files in those folders: /wp-admin, /wp-includes, etc,
   the files from those folders should be uploaded into these separate folders?
 * I think I made a big mistake of uploading them all under one folder which was“
   blog” then.

 * Yup – when the zip unzips, it should put everything in the right place, and you
   then just upload the folder in your ftp progran. It should then put the files
   in correctly.
 * What ftp program are you using ?

 * What are you using to get the files from your computer to the website ?
 * The files inside the unzipped ‘wordpress’ folder get uploaded into /public_html/
   blog – so you’ve got that exactly right.

 * Well I upload using Cpanel. cause there’s only two ways right? either ftp or 
   cpanel?
 * “There are two ways of getting files onto your site, and once there, changing
   them.
    By using your cPanel, or whatever file manager is provided by your host.
   By using a FTP client. This guide will show you how to use FileZilla.”
 * from the tutorial..

 * I use FileZilla – it’s quick and stable.
    I uploaded a site for someone yesterday
   using just their CPanel File Manager. It worked – it just took a lot longer.
 * Is everything in /blog now ?

 * oh i think this might be the problem…. i saw that some .php files like wp-config.
   php ‘s uploaded but it says 0 k.
 * as in it’s NOT uploaded?? zero kilobytes?

 * Not necessarily – some files that are smaller than 1k could show up as 0k. I 
   just checked and there is at least one file missing.
 * The easiest way is to use Filezilla:
    [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/FileZilla/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/FileZilla/)
   and using that is much faster and allows you to upload many files all at once.
   It also allows you to compare the sizes of files between what’s in the computer
   and what is on your site. How about giving it a go ?

 * alright i’ll try filezilla then. hope that fixes stuff and hope it’s not me being
   dumb and making other errors that’s causing this whole thing to not work.
 * thanks!
