I have this weird problem with my Wordpress Website. I worked on localhost and afterwards I tied to get my site online but i modified some configuration files and i don't know witch one is the fault. I am using XAMPP. The website right now is seems to not load js and css. Also on console log it gives 404 error for not fiinding the files it needs.

do you use gzip compression or such as it? if yes try to disable it, and make sure you have the right path
First, check that the file permissions are correct.
Also, if you have changed anything on your .htaccess files, overwrite them with the default ones: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress
Also it's always a good idea to go to the permalinks page (/wp-admin/options-permalink.php) to update the links of all dependencies to the new URL.
I clicked on the 'Update WordPress' link in the admin dashboard of my WordPress site, and I am getting this error:
"The file 'wp-config.php' already exists. If you need to reset any of the
configuration items in this file, please delete it first. You may try installing now."
When I try to click the "installing now" link, it seems that WordPress is installing fresh. I want to keep all of the content of my WordPress installation.
I have tried to change the name of the wp-config.php file but that didn't do anything.
Is just a browser cache.
On first URL load, you are redirected from domain.ext to domain.ext/wp-admin/setup-config.php
If you are on Chrome, just open the developers console, go to "Network" tab. Reload the page and right click anywhere in the console, and hit "Clear browser cache".
Now refresh again and you will see your website
I ran into this same issue while I was transferring a site. The issue ended up being with the .htaccess file. I fixed it by resetting my permalinks. There may be other causes to this issue but this worked for me:
Click on General => Permalinks
Click Save Changes (to reset permalinks)
Try to display the website first on the incognito tab. If it works correctly, clear the browser cache.
Once the page refresh has been completed, the website will appear.
You can use the following shortcuts to clear the browser cache.
Windows: Ctrl + F5
Mac OS: CMD + Shift + R
This usually happens when you use an old version of Wordpress files or old database, and you use partly new files of Wordpress.
All you need to do is to delete all WP files and install a fresh Wordpress (new files unzipped from a new version of Wordpress) and use an empty database.
If you're planning to migrate or move from another website, you should use the export/import function built in wordpress.
he file wp-config.php already exists. If you need to reset any of the configuration items in this file, please delete it first. You may try installing now.
Answer:- Please Clear Your browser's cache.
Did I miss the party?
Today I have a problem like what you experienced 5 years ago. The solution is: Remove all caching plugins (Cloudflare, Jetpack, Litespeed).
Maybe you could try to delete 'wp-config.php' file, or take a backup of this file in different folder and then try again.
If you are using bluehost and did not do the one click install :
I solved this problem by deleting the default error pages 404.php 500.php etc...
I do not know why exactly this was causing this issue... Sorry for the sloppy answer but tried clearing cache and recreating the .htaccess file it didn't work.
I removed the added spaces that the Wordpress's own web 'easy installer' created in the wp-config.php file to help me out.
Guess the Wordpress's own wp-config.php ?checker? isn't compatible with Wordpress's own installer. Wow.
Once the added spaces were removed, site comes up fine. I simply modeled the spacing that is in the wp-config-sample.php file.
Because you just installed wp.
Just hit ctrl+F5 done!!!
More likely it is cache issue and this error comes when we try to install one Wordpress inside of another sub folder of the cpanel in the same Wordpress installation and it will be mostly resolved when you try to check it in the private window or another browser
For me it was file permission set to 666 changing it to 664 worked.
If someone is still for a solution.
This happened to me on an existing site while trying to update.
the problem was following line in wp-config.php near the end.
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/setup-config.php');
Removing this fixed the problem.
Hope this helps.
RESOLVED: I had the same problem. post hack situation on other account, shared hosting and server NUKED. Luckily I had the backup files from one of the WP plugins but the main page didnt load, I could only go to 404 and from there to other pages but not main page, the error was wp-config eists...install...blah blah blah.....so I tried everything, multiple re-installs, changed the wp_prefix as per previous install on the fresh install and nothing helped, even ordered paid support from the backup plugin developer as I was sure that it fooked because I had Opencart also installed there but the backup was intended for WP only, my web developer also did something, perhaps removed the OC bits from DB, but thank god i managed to resolve it on my own(and justhost),. so I contacted the justhost for the SECOND TIME and they told me that the account is on VARNISH i.e. some sort of automated cache limit, so I told them to take it off and they wanted to know what have I done to reduce the LOAD to the server, so I told this and that and two seconds later everything loaded perfectly. took me about 20 hours to get main page loading, plus probably it will take 10 hours for fine tuning of the site. anyway if you contact jour host make sure you ask them if they are not blocking cahce as the first time I got in contact they couldnt help me.
I also meet with same error and Mr Pierre R is right its just a cache. Just clear your cache or check in private window. All fine.
if someone have still this error..
goto->admin->setup.php (delete this file error will be solve)
hope this will help.
I currently have wampserver running and I'm trying to do live preview of a php file using Brackets.io. However when I click live preview I'm getting
Project settings for: Getting Started
Live preview base URL: ______________
I'm following this tutorial on running PHP scripts.
My php file is in C:/wamp/wwww/php_proj1/php1.php so I've been trying to put this in my "Base URL"
http://localhost/php_proj1/php1.php
However everytime when I type that and enter it, it just asks me for the "Live Preview Base URL" again and nothing happens. I also tried putting the URL in my 'File->Project settings' and that also didn't work. I'm just running a basic php script that echos some words.
It works when I manually type
http://localhost/php_proj1/php1.php
in my Chrome URL but not when I use Bracets live preview.
What am I missing or doing wrong? Do I need to config anything in my wampserver? I've just started learning php and using wampserver so I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks!
EDIT: I'm following these 2 tutorials on doing this and it's just not working for me.
tutorial 1 and tutorial 2
EDIT2: Found my mistake.. I did not do File->Open Folder to open the folder that I was working on... Thanks to everyone that helped me with this, I will definitely not make this mistake again. sigh
The Live Preview Base Url should be set to the same url that you would use to launch your project in a browser.
So if you have a project in C:/wamp/wwww/php_proj1/ you would launch that project in a browser by entering http://localhost/php_proj1/php1.php therefore that is what Brackets is expecting to be entered into the Base Url field minus the actual script file name.
Remember the DocumentRoot of localhost is pointing to the folder C:/wamp/www/
So enter
http://localhost/php_proj1/
into the dialog that requests the Base Url.
Assuming you are editing the file php1.php at the time you clicked the Live Preview icon that is the script that will be run in the browser.
Oh and of course you have to have WAMPServer and therefore Apache up and running when you do this as it is running the code through Apache so that the PHP code can be interpreted.
Found my mistake. I did not do File->Open Folder to open the folder that I was working on...
Try the same thing but with a simple HTML file.
Try launching your project with PHP's built-in server. Open a terminal/cmd window and go to the folder php_proj1. Now execute php -S localhost:8000. Now set your Live preview path to http://localhost:8000/. If this one does work, then there may be a problem with Wamp.
Now remember that no matter what, you're not supposed to contain a file in the Live Preview path, but only a folder path. When you contain it, you get to this URL: http://server/file.php/file.php (double) and that's not exactly what you want...
If none of these work - there may be a problem with either your computer, Brackets, Chrome, or both. Try to reinstall them (Brackets first).
My two cents, is the name of the project php_proj1 ? If not you'll have to use http://localhost/ as your base URL.
Also (When you are using Brackets) check the content of the Chrome Network tab. F12 Developer Tools -> Network -> Filter -> Documents
Try to investigate the URLs, probably that'll give you some insight
TLDR:
Recently migrated my site to a new host. The header and footer (without CSS) show up, but the pages all show "Page Not Found".
Further Explanation:
I migrated my site (small CakePHP project) to a new host, and did these steps:
And follow this steps:
Migrated every file and folder
Imported the complete database
Changed the database configuration
Checked the folders, everything is set to dirname, and stuff like that, so no problem
Now, when I access the site in the new hosting, it shows page not found, and the CSS are missing. I edited the index.php on app/webroot and added a few echos to see if the flow was ok. If I add an echo, the CSS works (if I add echos in any part of the source, the echo was echo '1';) but still with the "Page Not Found".
What version of CakePHP are you using? If it is 2.x, you need to make sure you have php 5.2.8 or greater.
The other thing to confirm is that mod_rewrite is enabled and working correctly. It sounds like this may be the issue.
Maybe you forgot to copy any of the .htaccess files.
After doing some changes to my plugin amtyThumb, I realized that there is some problem to access imgsize.php. But i dint change anything in imgsize.php.
If i put this script into some other folder other than plugin folder on my site, then everything is working fine. I am keeping file permission 644 on both places. Folder permission is 755 on both places. It is working fine if i run it locally on my PC.
I had checked .htaccess for hotlinking. But it is not enable.
visit article-stack to view the problem. If you open page in IE or chrome, you can see broken image sign or cross sign in place of images which should be appear just before the post title in sidebar.
In addition, I am using previous version of this plugin on my one of the sites where it is working fine. visit thinkzarahatke. All images in footer bar and sidebar, are being displayed through amtyThumb 1.0.
For debugging : I added some code to write to a text file (just to check). But even that code is not getting executed :(
After a long time i found the silly mistake i did. I actually was calling script resides in "amtyThumb" but the actual plugin url was having "amtythumb".
