I have searched through the forums in hopes of finding a solution, but noting gives. Now for your suggestions: * ERROR LOG I have located the error log for the hosting acct. It has a list of the last 300 errors logged. Here are a few of the listed errors: * [error] [client IP.xxx] File does not exist: /home/machone/public_html/404.shtml [ error] [client IP.xxx] File does not exist: /home/machone/public_html/cpnael [ error] [client IP.xxx] File does not exist: /home/machone/public_html/404.shtml[ error] [client IP.xxx] File does not exist: /home/machone/public_html/robots. txt * …and so on – But there seems to be nothing referring to .htaccess file * 2- .HTACCESS I currently do not see a .htaccess file in the wordpress files to upload. I have currently downloaded another “fresh” copy to assure I have all files – should I create a .htaccess file? * 3-SERVER server configuration, what exactly should I be looking or asking for? Is there particular settings I should modify to? * 4- PLUGINS I currently have no plugins other than those already in the wordpress install files. This is a ‘new’ -or- ‘fresh’ wordpress install using cPanel. * 5-THEME I do not have a theme installed, again just default wordpress files at the moment (new wordpress install) * 6- I have tried once more to upload everything “fresh”, configuring my ‘wp-config. php’ with the Database settings….same error! * Yikes!!! I really need some help over here… * -L Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total)
