How do open “install.php?”

Obviously, that can NOT be your address!
https://uuge/whatever… is missing the .com, isn’t it?

So, where is is your WP installation? IN the root? ina subfolder?
a) in root: example.com/wp-admin/install.php
b) in a subfolder called bimbo: example.com/bimbo/wp-admin/install.php

EDIT. Oh, and if you can run away from that host: it has a very bad reputation around here!

Now I get the below error. But first, here are my settings:

// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘si–s’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘******’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?

I have no problems with 1and1. You will need to setup ad database through the 1and1 control panel. Once you set it up, it will give you the values you need to put in the wp-config.php file.

I set up the database and inputted correct info to wp-config… but now get the below error:

There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.

Which means your wp-config file is not where it is supposed to be: in the root dir of the WP install.

It’s there, right after wp-config-sample and before config-cron.php.

Thanks everyone for your help so far.

But I still get the error:

Now I get this error again. (I’ve triple checked…)

If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

I almost got it. Turns out I had to add “local host.”

Anyway, my blog is now here: https://uuge.com/wordpress-2.1/wordpress/

how do I get it to: https://uuge.com

Delete it and install it in the root directory – most likely something like “public_html” or “htdocs”… whatever is ABOVE the wordpress-2.1/ directory.

I don’t see” public_html” or “htdocs”… I ahve a “private” folder though? I have like 20 domains and use Frontpage. I loaded the wordpress files with coffecup…. But I can see the right folder to put them. The first time I put them in the UUGE folder, but now???

I got it. Thanks for your help! What I did wrong was I ftp’s the entire wordpress folder as a single folder. So I just uploaded all the root folders and files and it works now.
