Step 5 problem on Famous 5-minute Install
-
Hello WordPress,
I apologise if this has been covered in previous threads, I have looked, albeit unsuccessfully.
I am a web novice first off, so please if you are able to help me use layman’s terms if possible.I am at step 5, in the Famous 5-minute install, (3 hours for me).
The part where it asks you to open the install.php file in my browser, is not working.The instruction is very broad and I have tried many different methods, ie;
1: Opening the install.php file from my FTP program (Fetch)
3: Opening it from my Hosts server (Webcity)
2: Trying to edit the file again in Fetch, which edits the file in DreamweaverSeeing as though it is, according to step 6, supposed to give me a password, and I should be able to edit ‘tables’, I assume I’m doing it wrong as none of these features have shown themselves to me.
When I drag the file (from Fetch) into my open browser, it says, “You do not have permission to access this file”.
I tried to alter the files permissions via ‘control+click’ (Mac computer), but that didn’t work either.I turn to you all, as I’m at my wits end trying to get past step 5, and if I’m stumped here then god help me.
Thankyou in advance,
Heidi
