Need help installing Wordpress on Windows host.

Rishi87 · 08-07-2009, 03:58 PM

Hi, all. I am trying to install Wordpress on my windows hosting. Database is setup using phpMyAdmin, I've uploaded wordpress files in wwwroot folder using FTP and edited wp-config file too. However, running install script (by typing http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/install.php) results in "Page not found" error.

What could be the problem?

Does your Windows hosting have the necessary PHP and MYSQL setup?

Yes, They've configured PHP 5 on it and database is also set up in MySQL. Is there any hack that I have to follow for installation?

Have you uploaded the files from inside the 'wordpress' folder to your server, or did you just upoad the entire 'wordpress' folder?

Try accessing:
