It indicates that either you have not configured the default document (index.php) for your website or you do not have necessary permissions over wwwroot folder. You should ask your web hosting provider to set index.php as default page and assign necessary permissions to wwwroot folder. * Thanks, * Thread Starter [deleodev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deleodev/) * (@deleodev) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mangled-site-when-migrating-from-localhost-to-web/#post-6432440) * Sorry, but the correct url is: [http://www.supersoldas.com.br/word](http://www.supersoldas.com.br/word) i forget the end of path. * But, very thanks for the attention!!! * [http://www.supersoldas.com.br/word](http://www.supersoldas.com.br/word) * [accuwebhosting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/accuwebhosting/) * (@accuwebhosting) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mangled-site-when-migrating-from-localhost-to-web/#post-6432459) * Hi, * While browsing URL [http://www.supersoldas.com.br/word](http://www.supersoldas.com.br/word), I am receiving HTTP 404 error. I would suggest you following: * 1.Turn the permalinks to default and save it and then switch to your custom permalinks settings again. * 2.Make sure that index.php is exists and set as default page. * Thanks, * Thread Starter [deleodev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deleodev/) * (@deleodev) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mangled-site-when-migrating-from-localhost-to-web/#post-6432465) * dammit!

If PHP doesn’t have permissions then it can’t do its job. You should contact your web hosting provider to fix it by assigning necessary permissions. * For more information, please refer following URLs: * [http://lifeinthegrid.com/support/knowledgebase.php?article=12#faq-trouble](http://lifeinthegrid.com/support/knowledgebase.php?article=12#faq-trouble) * -> Find section: “3.
