This can vary with hosts. It might be ‘htdocs’, or ‘www’, or ‘public’, or really just about anything else. You’ll have to get the information from your web host if you don’t have it. 4) Download the latest WordPress zip or gz file, extract and upload everything inside the wordpress folder but not the folder itself (unless you want the blog to be in `http://< sitename>/wordpress/`) * @ wilton.araxa * You have a bad edit in your wp-config.php.
