WARNING – site NSFW!

so i go to this URL as instructed by the install tutorial.
http://sandrasyn.net/solo-model-blog/wp-admin/install.php (404 error)
First i notice that ../wp-admin/.. implies a folder which install.php would be located in, but the zip file contained no folders and install tutorial never said to make one? so i take that part out, and use URL
http://sandrasyn.net/solo-model-blog/install.php
and get error and warnings regarding line 4, which i have check a thousand times and is correct.

so again i ask WTF?

Now it would be our turn to quote you: WTF? people don’t know how to unzip a package?
Answer: no, they don’t. But they can swear.

Go back and set your unzip software to keep the folders structure. There MUST be a wp-admin folder. Period.

lol, the guy can pitch pr0n packages starting at 3k but cant unzip a zipfile.

That reminds me of someone I used to know that bought a bunch of .com sites back in the day, (all pr0n) — he ended up dropping out of high school to manage his growing portfolio of sites.

He’s semi-rich today, but dumb as a bag of rocks

Messed up the editing of the wp-config file.
Try to learn to search the Docs…
