Then probably WP is not in the folder called wordpress. A real link would be beneficial to find the problem.
I checked through my ftp program and I believe WordPress is in the wordpressfolder.
Here is a link:
http://www.jimhawver.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
OK, WP is there. WHat I’d try to upload the wp-admin directory’s files and making sure none of them has 0 (zero) KB size.
There are no files in the wp-admin directory that have 0 KB. I’m really perplexed by this.
And is the install.php there? Did you check?
I’d still try to upload a fresh (=new download) copy of the wp-admin folder.
Yes, the install.php is in the wp-admin directory folder. I did upload a new copy and the problem hasn’t changed. Thank you for helping me, I’m sorry it’s not working.
dmbjah11… what a coincidence! I am having the EXACT same problem right now. Looks like it’s going to be a long night. *sigh*
It stinks, doesnt it. I don’t have any idea what could be causing the problem.
Well, I really don’t know what to say – except it’s always a bad idea to be hosted on anything made by MS.
What’s MS? I’m using Stargate.com
MS = microsoft. You are hosted on a windows server.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
What FTP client are you using?
Are you uploading the php files in ASCII mode and preserving directory structure?
I see mention earlier that you didn’t have anything under wp-admin. That’s not a good sign as there should be quite a few files there. Until you have the files there, life won’t be so good. Perhaps another run at uploading?
Followup question: One assumes that php and mysql are working on your server. But to check, could you create a little phpinfo.php file, with contents of:
<? phpinfo() ?>
Put it somewhere on your site and run it. Does it produce any output?
HandySolo, thanks for trying to help.
I am using FileZilla and I am uploading the php files in ASCII mode. I think you misread a previous post, but there are files in the wp-admin directory.
I did create that phpinfo.php file and put it onto my site, but I get the same error message:
The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
What can I do to get my php files working properly?
Thank you very much!
Do you have Xampp(sp) installed on your windows server and do you have the correct file permissions for a windows server?
