hmmm… what’s in that directory? Because the sum total of the html that loads is this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Loading</title>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=index.php" />
</head>
<body>
<p>
</p>
</body>
</html>
Which of course just reloads the page over and over.
http://compumaniac12.homeip.net/wordpress/wp-admin/ should give me a login page but I get a directory listing instead.
And The requested URL /wordpress/wp-login.php was not found on this server. It isn’t found because it is trying to look for the file at http://localhost/wordpress/wp-login.php You have your configuration wrong. You say you can get into the admin section. Navigate to Setting->General. WordPress address and Blog address should be your URL — http://compumaniac12.homeip.net/wordpress. Is that what you have in those fields?
I have http://localhost/wordpress
this set up is for my work, i do html and php coding and want to work with wordpress, skins etc. Honestly I’m embarrased that i cant get this to work, I want it to be localhost/wodpress because thats what it is from this computer (which is also the server).
I could make it what you mentioned, but i would have to change that file in windows that i cant remember where to find, that just associates addresses… back to localhost.
the reason you see that on the directory is because I put it there, you would just get the listing like you do in the admin folder if it wasn’t there. My index is bouncing back to the folder, thats the problem, i can’t really understand why it would do that, because I’ve loaded it in the place I intend to…
With all due respect, that reload loop is obnoxious. Isn’t a blank index.php just as effective? Or even an empty index.html?
Second, you can’t expect WP to work while you have that infinite-loop index file in there. WP has a whole collection of files that need to be in that folder. Maybe your should read the codex.
Third, no one can help you if you sabotage your own installation.
Fourth, I’m not really inclined to help anymore since you broke your installation, pointed me to that broken installation (which, by the way, isn’t exactly correct as you want a private install not a public one, but pointed me to a public one, and didn’t explain that fact) and then asked ‘what’s wrong?’. What’s wrong, first off, is that you broke the installation. You maybe could have explained that anyone who bothered to try to help– for free– would be utterly and completely wasting their time.
Good luck.
Sorry it bothers you so much, based on my knowledge of web everything seems to be configured properly based on how i have gotten websites to function in the past.
I won’t ask for any further help…
Hi COmpumaniac12,
I had the same problem – really frustrating! – but then I turned off javascript in Firefox, and whoa, there the page loaded! A little javascript-error caused the blank page (I was about to to a complete WordPress re-install!) Guess that’s what you get when burning the midnight oil in coding and don’t check the page for every step you take…!
Hope you resolved yours problem too by now!
h;)
