Wordpress Installation Wizard Does Not Appear












-1















I'm trying to run the WordPress Installation wizard on my dedicated server.



When I access the folder where WordPress is present, I get the FTP view.



Any Idea why is that? Phpmyadmin is working fine using the [IP]/phpmyadmin URL.



But I need to use // before the IP to be able to view it. If I directly use the URL, I get that the page is not Found



Can someone guide me? What should I tell the hosting company to fix?



Browser view

Do you get anything when you to go http://111.222.333.444/gtaadmin/GTA/index.php ??



Without more information on your host configuration - I would guess that the most likely reason for this is that the default document type isnt specified.



A couple of options to resolve this are:



1) Get the default document of index.php added to the host



2) Create a redirect rule in htaccess (see https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215747748-How-can-I-redirect-and-rewrite-my-URLs-with-an-htaccess-file-)



You will want something like:



Redirect /path/to/old/file/ http://www.example.com/new/file/index.php

  • Hello! I get Not Found The requested URL /gtaadmin/GTA/index.php was not found on this server. if I try to access anything present in the FTP. Is that an apache issue? I can only view html and other media files when I access the websites using file:// before the IP. When I access it that way and try accessing a php file, I see the code instead of running it

  • Sounds horribly apache config-y to me. I'll bow out now as I'm not an apache guru by any means and wouldn't want to lead you down the wrong route - but if you can see a directory and not a file in it, there's not a vast number of things other than the serving application that it can be. Have you tried WebMasters Stack Exchange? There's Apache Guru's galore on there

  • Okay so I sent the team an email with visible anger in it and it did the trick, they got it fixed.
