How is WordPress installed when I cannot view the site? * My problem, whenever I attempt to access my site, is exactly as stated by BigC and CitizenN: “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.” * In addition, it is related because I’ve had to change wp-config to fix the failed opening required error: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/36747?replies=1](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/36747?replies=1) * Hijacking a topic? Absolutely not. Like BigC and CitizenN, I am having similar failed installation issues. * Double posting? No. Created June 2005 and still no solution. * More importantly: I’m just trying to contribute; and furthermore, determined to solve this frustrating installation/wp-config.php problem. * While I respect your time to help all of us, I believe jessatrightlook, synergyeffect, BigC and CitizenN all have the “same” problem that is related to wp-config and how the server is interpreting the file. * The DB setup and connection isn’t really the problem, but I believe it keeps coming up in these posts because once the installation fails, the script keeps requesting to reset the DB. * Also, can you explain: “Usually it’s not where it is supposed to be”? It’s a little vague. * Thanks for your continued support. I hope there is a solution soon. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Install.php can’t find wp-config.php file](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installphp-cant-find-wp-configphp-file/) * [knowlimit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knowlimit/) * (@knowlimit) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installphp-cant-find-wp-configphp-file/page/2/#post-315893) * I’m having the same problem, and quite surprised there isn’t an apparent solution. * Please see: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/36983?replies=5](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/36983?replies=5) * I have re-installed, checked permissions, cleared cookies/cache, etc. * The admin center works fine. “View Site” does not. * Please help. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [cannot view index page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-view-index-page/) * Thread Starter [knowlimit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knowlimit/) * (@knowlimit) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-view-index-page/#post-222793) * After attempting to resolve since June 2005, with no luck; gave this issue a break. New Year resolution? * Installed 2.0 with the same issue. * Searched the forum. Still no luck. * Host is Communitech. PHP 4.2.3. Redirection? Don’t know. * I’ve followed instructions and can log onto Admin, but cannot view site: taktikz. com/blog/ * Would appreciate any assistance. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [cannot view index page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-view-index-page/) * Thread Starter [knowlimit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knowlimit/) * (@knowlimit) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-view-index-page/#post-222679) * I delete the wp-admin/ and wp-includes/ directories and re-uploaded, but my problem still exists. * The admin center functions properly, but the “view site” and the blog itself does not work. * In addition, I’ve deleted cache files from my browser and check the blog directory for hidden files. * The other strange thing is that there does not appear to be any other issue related to this. * Any suggestions are welcome.
