Help Needed Finishing Installation

  • I am using version 2.9.2, but it was not in the drop down menu box.

    Thus far I am pretty sure the following has been done to a “t”:
    1) Download and unzip the WordPress package, if you haven’t already.
    2) Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
    3) Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.
    4) Open wp-config.php in your favorite text editor and fill in your database details as explained in Editing wp-config.php to generate and use your secret key password (Other than my database username, name, password, and host, I don’t think I need to change anything else, do I?).
    5) Place the WordPress files in the desired location on your web server: *I have renamed the directory “wordpress” to “blog”.

    Now, when I go to #6 (“Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in your favorite web browser.”), I get a 404 – Page Not Found “Warning: require_once(/home/content/m/t/r/mtrueblood33/html/blog/wp-settings.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in …/blog/wp-config.php on line 76”

    For a view of this error -> https://www.trueblooddesigns.com/blog

    Here is the last chunk of code:

    72 if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
    73 define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);
    74
    75 /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
    76 require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);
    77 ?>

    Your help is greatly appreciated!

    – Matt

  • the error is saying this file is missing
    wp-settings.php
    it may be indicative of other files not getting uploaded, also

    The entire directory has been uploaded to the web hosting account. “wp-settings.php” is definitely uploaded, and I am pretty sure all the other dependent files are there as well.

    What about the code we are supposed to edit on the wp-config.php page. Could that have anything to do with it?

    What about this information? Does any of this need to change per my web hosting and database info?

    $table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

    define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

    if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);

    require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);

    I left this the same as it came with the download; this was the only chunk of code I didn’t modify.

    Thanks!

    No – you can leave it “as is”.

    Then, I am having a hard time understanding what is going on then… Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    You’re definitely missing some files. Currently it’s your wp-config.php file that’s gone AWOL.

    I downloaded the entire package, changed the necessary files needed in my code editor, then uploaded the entire package. What files am I missing? What could be AWOL with my wp-config.php file?
