Hi.
I am trying to install this as a site, in other otherwords i renamed the files public_html to upload straight to my server.
I have upload all files and gone to my url to install but when i go to delete the .htaccess file it automatically makes a new blank one. When i refresh the install page, it keeps saying:
A file with the name '.htaccess' already exists in this directory and I cannot write to it. Please ftp to the server and delete this file from this directory!
Offending file: /home/ourblog/public_html/.htaccess
How can i stop this?
Regards
Steve
"Please ftp to the server and delete this file from this directory!"
You;re on cpanel. It will keep sticking it there *unless* you go in thru ftp, delete the htacces and then immediately run the install.
ok i have done that, entered my mysql details and the rest but now i get this:
ERROR: could not open .htaccess for writing
htaccess.dist
uid/gid: 32011/32013
size: 378
perms: 0644
readable: yes
writeable: no
.htaccess
uid/gid: 32011/32013
size: 0
perms: 0644
readable: yes
writeable: no
oh and i have the files chomd to 777 that needed to be.
Well the error message up there says it's set to 644, not 777.
- Upload the software, setup up the wildcards and databases, and get everything ready.
- Log out of Cpanel.
- FTP into your site.
- Delete .htaccess via ftp.
- Do not log back into CPanel.
- Run the wpmu install.
