# 404: Cannot find installer.php

 * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-cannot-find-installer-php/)
 * Am I missing something basic and obvious?
 * I have successfully created the installer file and archive file. Using cPanel,
   I have placed them both in the root (/home/) folder, and a folder I created: /
   home/public_html/duplicator_folder_cpanel.
 * When I use Chrome to browse [https://deltaetaiota.org/installer.php](https://deltaetaiota.org/installer.php),
   I get a 404 arror. Same problem when I browse [https://deltaetaiota.org/public_html/duplicator_folder_cpanel/installer.php](https://deltaetaiota.org/public_html/duplicator_folder_cpanel/installer.php)
 * I’ve created a dummy file called test.php in both directories but also get a 
   a 404.
 * In fact, I get a 404 even when I try [https://deltaetaiota.org/public_html](https://deltaetaiota.org/public_html)
 * As a side note, I don’t understand how the site [https://deltaetaiota.org/public_html](https://deltaetaiota.org/public_html)
   can be browsable by the general public. Shouldn’t there be some kind of security
   check to validate registered owners?
 * What am I doing wrong?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2F404-cannot-find-installer-php%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hey [@clg87](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clg87/),
 * Thanks for the feedback! There are a few items in the FAQ that may provide a 
   solution to this issue, this one may get you going.
 *     – The installer is showing blank/white, 403, 404 or a 500 error?
