There doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file – But there is!

I changed them to first “Acces files” (for both me, group and others) – it didn’t work. Then I changed it to “Create and delete files” – It didn’t work neither.

I went to “Change permissions for Enclosed Files”. Changed all of them to “Read and Write only” under files, and “Create and delete” under folders.

Nothing works. What is wrong?

I don’t really know very much about how all this works. But I get a happy message when going to localhost/ .

How can I make sure that I have a DB?

Yes, know. I followed the guide as I linked to before. I think I made a database there. I think I used Apache to that. Egen I type localhost/ i get a message that sats something like “Congratulasions. You have succesful build a database, but there is no content yet”

But what should I do them?

What should I do to fix the problem as I describede in the first post?

… I have tried that 62737 times. Then inserted my hostname and stuff like that. All turning out to a message that Tells me to create the wp-config.php manually which I do. The problem ud still that it can’t gind it.

Okay.

After the installation I went to the localhost/ and I get the following message:

It works!

This is the default web page for this server.

The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.

I go to the localhost/wordpress and get this message:

There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started.

Need more help? We got it.

You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.

Create a Configuration File

I press ‘Create a Congiguation File’ and presses ‘Let’s go’.

I insert my Database name, username, password, database host, table prefix. And go to the next page. It says now:

Sorry, but I can’t write the wp-config.php file.

You can create the wp-config.php manually and paste the following text into it.

*Lot of text*

After you’ve done that, click “Run the install.”

I insert it into my wp-conifg.php in my root folder called ‘wordpress’, and presses “Run the install”.

But when I press “Run the install”, it gives me this message again:

There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started.

And then I can start over again.
