  • A link to your site would have helped, but at a guess, leave out the “home” bit of the path – that might be what the folder is called when you see it in your FTP client, but the web server will not normally show that.

    Try:

    http://yoursite.com/lounge/wp-admin/install.php

    Watch out for other issues with an IIS server on GoDaddy – I think some people have had trouble there. Post again if you run into any trouble.

    First, email Godaddy and ask if you can be moved to a Linux server. That will be better in the long run.

    The supervisor is completely totally and utterly wrong. We should send them a clue as a gift.

    If you are happy to give me login details, I’ll sort it out for you. Email me – tamba2 at gmail dot com

    The error though is just that the files are not where it expects to find them. When your blog works, what address would I go to see it? For example:
    https://www.example.com/blog
    https://www.example.com/

    It can all be sorted though ??

    home & lounge are actually subdirectories on the site

    1. A link to your site would have helped == https://www.marigotvillage.com/home/lounge/wp-admin/install.php

    I actually tried it without the home as well as https://64.202.189.187/home/lounge/wp-admin/install.php
    and still no success.

    with godaddy .. do you not have to set up your databases?
    I was providided with the following info when site was given to me and also by godaddy.

    Data Base name:marigot6002
    PW:*********
    mysql_marigot6002.dns
    Host name: mysql109.secureserver.net

    Not sure what one I placed the * next to is related to.
    I currently have these settings on in wp-config on server

    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘xxxxxxx6002’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘xxxxxxx6002’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘Xxxxxxx’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysql109.secureserver.net’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

    Plz let me know if these settings are correct or if need change

    I found the issue and resolved it “PARTIALLY”. Issue was that I was on a windows server and now switched to a Linux server. After trying to run https://marigotvillage.com/home/lounge/wp-admin/install.php
    I recv this msg

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp() in /home/content/w/a/n/wangol/html/home/lounge/wp-settings.php on line 5

    what does this mean?

    ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED AND NOW UP/RUNNING
    BIG THANKS TO bradhuss at hyperactive-media dot com
    AND ALSO EVERYONE WHO ASSISTED..

    TAHNKS ALL .: ??

    I just found this post after searching some more, already posted a question in another group…

    I too am on IIS and getting the 404 error when I try to run istall.php.

    mysql seems to be running fine, as evidenced by being able to run the admin program, create users, create databases, etc.

    i’ve tried changing the application association in iis from the dll to the exe and back – no change. except now if i try to run the install.php i see a little command window open up and the test flash by.

    Can anybody run down the likely reasons that the 404 error is coming up…? I know the iis isn’t having problems finding the install.php file itself – it can find other files in the directory – so i guess the 404 error is coming from a file that is being called from within the install.php?

    any pointers would be helpful.

    btw i can’t get rid of iis on this machine due to another application we have that depends on it. another possibility would be to install an additional web server on the same box if it can ‘play nice’ with iis.

    – Sam
