404 error on wordpress

Support
1

Hi,

I have copied file via file manager into my web server at e.g. mydomain/qm. I am running wordpress site and new directory qm created by me. I have confusion over .htaccess file, do we need to update that via root access of main directory or we have to update in folder htaccess file? I have updated to both file, tried one by one but still it is not able to installl. Giving error of 404.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /qm
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

I have changed it like this in both file. Not able to go through first screen.

It shows 404 error and url show http://(mydomai)/qm/welcome (welcome is grayed)

Please help me to understand where am i making mistake.

also let me know if anybody has video of installation on web server?

Regards,

Virendra

I am slightly confused by what you’re trying to achieve, wordpress, has nothing to do with IP…however;

You only need to edit the .htaccess file in the root of the IP directory - It looks like you’ve modified the default as it should read:

RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /qm
  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Having IP in a sub-folder of wordpress shouldn’t be an issue as I actually used to do this. But if you’re struggling why not place the IP installation In a sub-domain of your main site? e.g. qm.yourdomain.com

The installation process is described in the Wiki:
https://wiki.invoiceplane.com/en/1.0/getting-started/installation

If you’re struggling…You mention ‘File Manager’ are you using cPanel? If so, you could use softaculous to install IP as this is the less technical option.

Hi nmay,

I have inserted above code, but still problem is not solved. Also in .htaccess file it is written that if you are using subfolder, need to remove #, so should i remove that? is that the cause of problem?

Also file manager does comes will many hosting server. I am using ipage none Cpanel hosting. Just fyi.

If couldn’t able to perform installation, will sure go for sub domain, that advice is surely wonderful.

Thanks

Yes you need to remove the # in front of that line if you’re choosing the subfolder option.

Also make sure the full domain FQDN with subfolder is set in the ipconfig file, for example:

IP_URL=http://yourdomain.com/qm

Hope that helps.

as per them .index file is creating problem, i have deleted it. still problem persist.

The error log is,

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Zend_Config_Exception’ with message ‘syntax error, unexpected ‘(’ in ./config/config.ini on line 10
’ in /hermes/bosnaweb12a/b1911/(my website address)/library/Zend/Config/Ini.php:181

index.php is a required file - you can not delete it…doing so will definitely stop IP from working.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /qm
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

This is what written in .htaccess file

and IP=http://mydomain/qm

what is wrong with me, not able to understand.
