Hi,
Are you purchased Hosting? If so, please upload WordPress installation file in to your root folder. Also create a mysql database & then just go to your domain.
Then go to your domain and it will start WordPress Installation. Just fill your details and it will only take 2 minutes.
yes i am with godaddy, and still having issues
I installed wordpress
I followed the steps of matt’s link :-
https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install
But having trouble now with the .htaccess file.
The .htaccess file is invisible, so you may have to set your FTP client to show hidden files. If you are not using pretty permalinks, then you may not have a .htaccess file.
So i now dont understand how to get this .htaccess file.
and i have lost the access to the blogging it has forbidden or errors.
thank you for helping
So now i have lots of errors, and i have tried reading articles on how to fix this but still struggling and don’t understand how to fix it
Its to do with the .htaccess file ?
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Please help me fix this, thank you
Looks like this is a brand new site? If so, I’d suggest you just ask GoDaddy to wipe what you have set up so far and start over – and install (using their installer) in the place you want it.
yes this is a brand new site i already have a wordpress site, which is up and running
the first site was easy to install, as yes i just used the installer, but this one has been hard and difficult, as for the second site there is no installer for wordpress with godaddy, i have had to download and upload it to the cpanel
i have a multi hosting account with godaddy and that is the problem, i cant wipe it as it would affect the rest of my webpages, different domains and webpages.
and i dont understand why there is no easy install option with godaddy with the second webpage using wordpress
so i still have lots of errors and dont know how to fix it ?
I’d still suggest asking GD for help with this if you cannot get it sorted using the link you’ve been looking at. Since no one here knows which files you have where, or where your other site is installed, it’s next to impossible to give accurate advice. GoDaddy is much better positioned to do so.
Thank you for everyone’s help,
for anyone in the future who reads this forum,
i unloaded everything that i uploaded and started again, i made sure to unzip the wordpress file and moved all the files into the correct main website folder and then wordpress loads correctly,
Very important to get the correct files in the correct place one thing missing takes ages to fix – follow step by step guides to the T !
Again thanks heaps everyone for helping 😀
