Problem with wordpress installation

[xandor]

I am trying to install wordpress on my server but i get 404 error message when i try to access:
<my url here, wont show so noone mess it up ofc>/wp-admin/install.php

I uploaded the content of the wordpress folder into /public_html/ and i added a database and a user in it.

First i uploaded it above all folders (at / not inside public_html) and tried to run it, dont think that it can be some issue that i put it in wrong folder first try.

Looked at all related wordpress posts i could find when googling but cant find the solution, anyone know what might be wrong?

so you already had it installed .. your just installing it on a new server...

did you change the config.php ?

It is first time i install it (and it wasnt on server when i got it), i tried with a few things (first i realized i put it at wrong place after reading some threads, so moved it to /public_html/ but didnt work after moving it either)

are u using same mysql account. First remove that account and use a new one

Same mysql account?
I cant even access the wp-admin/install.php page so i dont think it has anything to do with mysql account.
Also i put same mysql account in cpanel and in config.php

Error message i get: (removed url to server)
404 Not Found

The server can not find the requested page:

/wp-admin/install.php (port 80)​

Please forward this error screen to

Have you tried to install it again in public_html from scratch?

What is the panel your are using? (Cpanel,directadmin etc). have u tried moving the files to public_html folder? I believe you havent configured it properly.

use Fantastico De Luxe like you will have an option to install directly if you dont know how to install manually

Im using Cpanel.
I removed all wordpress files and uploaded them again, to public_html, cleared cashe and visited websites incase some history was messing it up. But didnt work.

What can it be that i didnt configurate properly?

place a txt file in the place where you placed other wp file.

now go to yoursite.com/filename.txt .. see if its opening

That is indeed the problem, tested again and realized that this works:
open a text file at:
url/textfile.txt
but this doesnt work:
url/wp-admin/textfile.txt

So it is some problem with going into the wp-admin folder. Why?
Btw, i really have a text file in both folders (i didnt try to access a text file that doesnt exist).


Made a support ticket at the host also, he said it should work after i change the nameservers to their.
