Error 404 When Trying to Open wp-admin/install.php

    I’ve installed quite a few wordpress blogs on mine as well as friend’s and family’s sites.

    But for some reason, this one is giving me problems.

    I changed all the database info in the wp-config-sample.php file and renamed it wp-config.php. I uploaded all the files to domain.com/blog/. I then pointed my browser to domain.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php and I get an error 404. I get an error 404 for any file I try to open in the /blog/ directory.

    This is the first time I am installing v.2.6. Would it have anything to do with that?

    I had the same problem when I uploaded via FTP, however I just logged onto the server’s remote desktop, re-downloaded and reinstalled it however I’m still having issues so I may not be the best to take advice from.

    If you get 404 – then you didn’t upload the files where you think you did.

    I deleted and created new directories and started over a few times. It’s always been bmbfotos.com/blog/

    Normally, that “blog” directory should be under/in public_html or www or htdocs or the domain.org folder – and NOT just by itself in the air…

    In the air, ha ha, that’s funny.

    AFAIK it is in the main directory of this particular domain. We have the same host and mine is in the same spot.

    Check it out:

    I can’t get filezilla to show the whole root directory.

    The more and more I mess with this, I think it has to do with the host.

    All that directory structure always depends on the software used by the host on their server
    I have seen quite a few of them… but never seen the logs folder and a folder created for installing your stuff on the same level. (which doesn’t mean it is impossible)

    And what is that wsb###### folder there?

    Ha ha! It WAS the host. I did everything right, but it was conflicting with something installed by the host.

    This is resolved. Thanks for the help!
