Re: 404 Error at step 4 of installation

Thanks for the screenshots, those are perfect. There doesn’t seem to be anything weird with the .htaccess or permalinks settings, and it looks like you are accessing the proper directory.

As the other thread mentioned, there were public HTML files in two locations on the server, and that poster had installed into a directory that was not being served, making it look like the files were not there.

One thing that is probably unrelated – the forum files have loose permissions. The directories have 775 and they should be 755, and the files (php, css, js, images) should have 644, but they have [edit] 664. Should not matter, but some hosts won’t serve content when the permissions are too permissive.

Please do a test. Put a html file in the WordPress root (where the forum directory is located) and see if you can access it at http://klinewedding.com/test.html. If that comes up, put another file in the forum directory, and see if you can access that at http://klinewedding.com/forum/test-2.html. That will ensure we are looking at the correct directories. The file can be as simple as this:

<html><head><title>WordPress test</title></head><body><p>Test WordPress</p></body></html>

Save that as test.html in the WordPress root. See if you can access it by URL. Then try the same in the forum directory.
