“There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this…” Yes my exact problem too.
And the reason;
My host had not activated PHP, only the Database.
Run this little script here to check if PHP is activated and its settings <?php phpinfo(); ?> place it in a text file called – test.php – run it through your browser. If a status window appears PHP is activated
Just a note that some hosts disable phpinfo() from executing (it’s a security thing).
I like to put this in a file called hi.php:
<? print "hello, world" ?>
and then browse to that.
