 * Hi
 * I get the error Not Found
 * The requested URL /wp-admin was not found on this server.
 * Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument
   to handle the request.
 * I really do not know where to go on this. I am not a technical guy. Any pointer
   would be appreciated. I am trying to run off the HostGator server, this error
   come up on my first login attempt. Have looked through a stack of comments getting
   into worse trouble than I started with… and got further with the .com site.
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * How exactly did you install WordPress? In the root of your site? In a sub-directory?

 * Hello AncalO
 * I use a process called quickinstall, a facility provided by HostGator. I think
   this saves the system on my GatorHost site? Sorry I don’t really understand the
   installation process, it seems Worpress can be run locally or remotely. I am 
   really stuck on this, is there a recommended procedure I can follow,
 * Thank you

 * Here is a nice guide so you can start again and [install WordPress](https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/install-wordpress-on-a-centos-7-vps/)
   step-by-step without errors.

 * A few questions:
 * – you bought your hosting at HG but did you buy your domain name from HG as well?
   If you bought it somewhere else (GoDaddy, for example) then there are additional
   steps you need to take
 * – if you bought your domain from HG at the same time as the hosting, and you 
   did the WP QuickInstall relatively soon thereafter, then it is a matter of waiting
   until the domain becomes fully available on the web; this can take up to 24 hours
   and is normal.
 * – after you did the QuickInstall, did you receive the email with the login info
   and you clicked on the enclosed link and got the noted error? If so, then it 
   means the install went fine and it is one of the first two items noted here 🙂
