Hi!
I just joined 000webhost. I wanted to create a kind of test website to try things out first, so I haven’t as of yet changed my website address from the default xxx.000webhostapp.com.
Anyways, I’ve created a website. I click on Website builder and then choose “Build Wordpress website”. Now it’s installing, creating database and finalizing etc. Afterwards it says: "Congratulations, it’s ready!
Your Wordpress is now ready for configuration."
and there’s a button “Got to Wordpress configuration page” (yes it actually says “Got to”).
But when I click the button i get a page with nothing but "Not Found The requested URL /wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server"
I’ve tried this a couple of times. Since it creates a database every time I had to delete the existing ones (limit 2 for free use) before trying again.
I’ve tried googling but can’t seem to find anyone with this error. Also, when I look at tutorial videos for 000webhost the website has a different design than the one I’m at. Have they perhaps remade it recently?
Anyway…
Has this problem happened to anyone else?
Does anyone have an idea on what might be the cause of the error?
Are there perhaps any prerequisites for the installation? like mysql or php?
What happens when you visit yoursite.com?
Does it load up a new wordpress site?
I’d just visit Wordpress website, download the latest version and manually install, upload the zip, create a database, run the install, type in the database you made, sorted.
You see this page because your website doesn’t have “index.php” or “index.html” file in public_html folder.
Create index file
Below you can see your current files in public_html folder.
…and there is a file browser. I just now tried browsing it and found a file named “install.php” in the “wp-admin” directory. The file that the error message says it cant find.
Yes I’ve considered installing wordpress manually but I wanted to try the forum first since I’m kinda new at this stuff and it would feel so much better if things worked as intended.
