Initial Install - page not found

[Part]

Hi all

 

I am currently trying to install a fresh IPB on a new site I am creating.

 

I am having some trouble, I uploaded all the files and put all permissions on the files (write, etc) within THE FTP but the /admin/install goes to a page not found 404.

 

What is the deal with this and can it be fixed easily? Thanks

Have you tried putting index.php at the end of the install link? The webserver might not be dishing it out.

Hi

 

Sorry can you elaborate? I tried /admin/install/index.PHP and a few others variations but what exactly do you mean here?

 

Thanks

Have you renamed the admin folder at one time in constants.php? Like on my site i dont use /admin anymore

I haven't changed the directory name, nope. Just uploaded all the IPB files and it doesn't seem to be working at all.

 

Really confused, would appreciate any help please.
