I get: The requested URL /wp-admin/ install.php was not found on this server. * I am emailing my host to check on my permissions. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-68/) * Thread Starter [clanger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clanger/) * (@clanger) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-68/page/2/#post-3164923) * wvodysseyofthemind.org * I am able to log in to their server, so I think it is configured right. * Not sure what you mean by right permission to files and folders * Could it be that my url is not yet active? I switched my domain name from register. com to tierra.net on Friday evening. I was told it would take 24-72 hours, but then I was able to log onto their tierra.net server yesterday so I thought it was active. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-68/) * Thread Starter [clanger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clanger/) * (@clanger) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-68/#post-3164918) * Thank you govpatel * That is what I have been trying to do. I get this message: The requested URL/ wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server. * And how would I know if I have all file folders? If I do a fresh download, do I have to go through all the steps again? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-68/) * Thread Starter [clanger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clanger/) * (@clanger) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-68/#post-3164898) * Tried what you suggested. Error message – requested url not found on server * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-68/) * Thread Starter [clanger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clanger/) * (@clanger) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-68/#post-3164889) * Thanks for your help. * THESE ARE THE DIRECTIONS I HAVE TRIED TO FOLLOW: Open wp-config.php in a text editor and fill in your database details as explained in Editing wp-config.php to generate and use your secret key password. I never got a secret password. * 6. Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in a web browser. * If you installed the WordPress in the htdocs/ directory, you should visit: [http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php](http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php) * I used this one twice, but got error message both times. Do you just open another browser window? That’s what I did, but I don’t really understand this. * WordPress should then be installed! * I don’t understand. Why would I rename the file after they made such a big deal about saying it had to be renamed? I edited the config-php file, but don’t understand about th secret key password. What is that? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-68/) * Thread Starter [clanger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clanger/) * (@clanger) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-68/#post-3164883) * I have now located the file, but don’t know how to edit it with my info. They have a text editor called “Webby”, but I can’t figure out how to use it. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-68/) * Thread Starter [clanger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clanger/) * (@clanger) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-68/#post-3164881) * Yes, exactly. wp-config.php.file Only now I cannot find it! * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-68/) * Thread Starter [clanger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clanger/) * (@clanger) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-68/#post-3164872) * Thanks for your reply. * The problem is I cannot locate the file.
