whatson

I am getting somewhere with this although still not fully resolved.
Because my domain is managed with 123-reg.co.uk and my hosting is with a different company I had to go into the 123-reg domain set up pages and change the servers that are in there to my hosting companies. This info was provided by my hosting server.
I then found out I had uploaded WordPress into the wrong folder.
(I just uplaoaded it to the default that was open)
Apparently it should have been in var/www/html/ …….who knew!
Still not working…next I deleted the wp-config file as Willpcg (earlier post) told me the system could make a new one when you run the install.php.
Great, now for the first time I get a WordPress window taking me through the steps to create the wp-config file.
Last problem (still unresolved) is what is my database called, I have tried everything but no joy as yet…..
Any ideas where I would find it?

sorted out the path issue, re uploaded wordpress still no good

yes you are right, the path wasn’t right but it still doesn’t work.
I have another WordPress site which was set up for me by someone else. I note on that there are no other files in it other than the WordPress files and the ones I have created. In the window with this new site I have loads of files.
My path seems to be www. my web address /home/admin/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
I thought about deleting all tghe other files and uploading all the Wp files again but it won’t let me delete them

I deleted wp-config.php and did not re upload it but still got the problem. I am typing my web address followed by /wp-admin/install.php into my browser. Sorry to be a pain bu still not working.

I have deleted the file from the server and re uploaded it but it still doesn’t work. I dont no how to directly edit it on the server as when I double click it the window asks me if I want to replace the existing file to which I say yes but still no joy.
