you ought to upload the file that it cannot find, namely “wp-settings.php”
wp.settings.php is uploaded and under the main wordpress folder where it should be. two questions
1. does it matter that the wordpress folder was uploaded to the server unzipped?
I’m working on a friends server which has an out of date file manager and it cannot unzip files
2. does it matter that I have multiple directories ie
http://www.mysite.com/dir/dir
1. does it matter that the wordpress folder was uploaded to the server unzipped?
yes.
nothing else needs to be answered since thats a yes. get a ftp client and do it the right way.
ok I am able to upload the zipped file to this site but am unable to unzip it there.
Have tried a number of ftp clients and they don’t unzip a file on the server
The server’s file manager won’t do it and the pages don’t interact with each other if unzipped from my computer.
I am following the directions to the letter and have retested installing it as instructed on my own site with cpanel ( which can unzip files) which works fine.
so what should I do next?
you unzip the files on your own pc – and then you upload the files.
