installation

  • I am new to WordPress and am trying to set up a website. I have a domain, I have created a database. My host is TierraNet through Grassroots.org. I followed their installation directions (very similar to the 5 minute one Word Press has). Per their instruction, I uploaded WordPress through Filezilla into the ht docs directory. I renamed the wp-config-sample.php file. My problem is I cannot find the file now, so I am unable to open it and fill in the database info (which I have). Any idea what to do next? Please keep in mind I am very new and may not understand very technical terms.

    Thank you!

    I am able to log in to their server, so I think it is configured right.

    Not sure what you mean by right permission to files and folders

    Could it be that my url is not yet active? I switched my domain name from register.com to tierra.net on Friday evening. I was told it would take 24-72 hours, but then I was able to log onto their tierra.net server yesterday so I thought it was active.

    I get this when I go to url
    Forbidden

    You don’t have permission to access / on this server.
    Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at wvodysseyofthemind.org Port 80

    So it diffidently permission problem on your htdoc folder may be your host can help you as they login and check the permissions.

    Thank you gopatel

    Wouldn’t you get that error message, since you don’t have permission to access that site?

    That is not the same error message I get. I get: The requested URL /wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server.

    I am emailing my host to check on my permissions.
