    Hi guys!

    I really hope you can help me, what I think was easy (installing wordpress) is becoming a nightmare… I’ve been trying for three days to enter to the wp-admin site, and nothing.

    I made everything: create My SQL Database in godaddy’s cpanel. Also modified my domains DNS (google.inc) so its now pointing to the correct IP address. I can get in the site by using Filezilla and the Cpanel file manager.

    I downloaded the latest version of wordpress (4.1.1) and modified the wp-config-sample.php file as said on the wordpress.org website (everything is correct). Then uploaded it to my website through my FTP and go check the link mysite.com/wp-admin/install.php or mysite.com/public_html/wp-admin/install.php and still says FILE NOT FOUND, so I cannot access to my wordpress panel.

    What should I do?
    I just called to godaddy’s support and they told me the sites from wordpress where showing problems since morning and maybe 24 hours later it will be solved. But, I searched on the web about this and found that other people get the same problem even years ago. Is this normal? I have another web running with wordpress and it wasn’t this difficult to make it work.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    Not familiar with Godaddy. If you install WP you don’t need to change config-sample or edit any file using ftp. Just create database, remember credential and then upload all wp files to /public or /html or whatever is your root in godaddy.
    I think Godaddy has own instruction how to install that.

    Then it should works. If not, your hosting is not the best solution for your website 🙂

    From the main screen of your GoDaddy cPanel you will see a section called Web Applications. You can install WordPress from there if your having trouble with a manual install.
