Word Press Install Question
 

I had WP installed on an existing site. I got well into the set-up and suddenly got this error message below. Now I can't get to the admin.

Not Found
The requested URL /wp/wp-login.php was not found on this server.

Same thing happened when I tried to set-up WP on another existing site. I've set-up WP on 4-5 brand new sites with no content and there wasn't a problem. Is it because the DNS wants to redirect index.php to index.html?

If I need to do a second install, what should I do different?

Thanks

try /wp/wp-admin/wp-login.php

I have installed WP 1,500+ times and never seen that error before. Maybe it is some kind of .htaccess issue?

index.html won't work, you need index.php

That didn't work either.

This is what the link should be:

http://groovyguys.com/wp-login.php

But it brings up a weird, stripped down log in page. Click that and you get the error message.

That weird page is the correct one.. You have installed wordpress in the root directory instead of at /wp

However, you also have data inside your DB that is pointing to /wp and that is why that page looks weird. Because the CSS links and JS links are all created on the fly and they point to /wp

yeah you must have had it previously in /wp/ but didn't change the setting in the General Settings to remove it. Best bet is to a find/replace in your DB for /wp/ and replace it with /
