Error 404 when trying to access install.php

I have the files upload to my website and entered everything correctly in the config file. When I direct my browser the the folder contain the files, I see about 20 files and couple of directories. I navigate to the install.php file and all it does it gives me an Error 404 page. I am using 1and1.com for my hosting. I am on a Microsoft hosting plan. I have ready many tutorials that say I should use linux hosting. But nothing I have read says that it WON’T work on microsoft. Am I going to have to request 1and1.com change my hosting plan? Is that my only option?

oke. first problem is thats nots quite a url you want to use.

you want this:

gallery2.brianpettitphotography.com

or this:

http://www.brianpettitphotography.com

right?

http://gallery2.brianpettitphotography.com/

and you get the same result.

http://www.brianpettitphotography.com is my current website. I don’t want to change it until I have something I like better in wordpress. I had created a subdomain a while back so I decided to use it to test WordPress. I have the same information uploaded to http://www.brianpettitphotography.com/blog with the same result, page not found when clicking on install.php.

1and1.com uses MS SQL for their windows hosting, wordpress used MySQL, is that the problem?

It seems that php is not working properly. If it was, just visiting your site should display a web page, not a list of your files. Either that or your index page is not set to function as a default file. You might want to contact your host and see if there is something they can do to make that work for you.

if you are trying to use an mssql db it will not work – must be mysql

1and1 will switch you to linux for free – I would advise it as all software will run better and faster

also, it looks as if index.php is not enabled for your site

I made the switch to linux hosting. I uploaded a new copy of wordpress with the new database information. Still the same. Here is the site:

How do I make sure index.php is enabled?

I get a 403 forbidden message. Check that all your files and folders have the right permissions. Folders should have 755 permissions and files should have 644.
