Database issue?
I installed WordPress from a zip file via FTP, followed the install procedure exactly - When accessing the URL, all I could see is a default page without opening any install script. I then manually entered https://mysite.com/wp-login.php
and it opened a login window.
I entered the username and PW I created in wp-config.php
- I was advised no such user- double checked everything and found no errors I could determine. I'm guessing that the problem is something in either database setup or name. FYI- I'm installing via FTP as my host dreamhost, installation only yields the same result EXCEPT in miniature!
