Did anyone have the problem of not being able to login into Wordpress after installing it?

I've just bought a domain and hosting yesterday, I've installed WP from the cPanel (using Fantastico). I left the 'destination' box empty, so that it would be installed in 'domain.com/'

But for some reason I can't log into domain.com/wp-admin

Did anyone else have this problem? Google is bringing up things that look far too complicated for me.

Looks like I'm going to need to invest in some sort of web-design book. Ffs.
 


I know this will sound silly but I'll say it just in case. Check your caps lock key etc, the fields are case sensitive.
 
If all else fails, you can simply go back into your cPanel and delete that blog. Then re-install it to make sure you have the right log in information.

It's also a good idea to email yourself your log-in details. They give you that option after the installation is complete.

It's coming up with the error 'The system cannot find the file specified.'

Even though all the files are there when I go into cPanel.

Shit's getting annoying now.
 
Does the index page show up in the browser? If so, note the link to the login page(used to be on the bottom left of the page). I think you can log in as admin there and it will take you to the admin panel.
 
hurr durr when happens when installing lots of sites.
You need to delete all files and reinstall again.

SOmetime you might get errors like root folder not empty blah.. raise a helpdesk ticket with host to have it cleaned. Usually the simplest way to solve. and then reinstall

Unsure what you mean. I can go into the file manager from cPanel and it shows all the files where they should be, but it's just not working when I type in the domain/wp-admin.

nothing else in the error? It's a bit cryptic

does your installation have an .htaccess file? Try renaming it ( say .htaccesstemp ) and access again wp-admin/
 
Unless you are having DNS issues, this problem is most often caused by Fanstico being retarded. Sometimes it just refuses to copy all the files like it should. My guess is that your wp-login.php file really isn't present in installation directory.

At any rate, 99% of the time the solution is to uninstall, check that all the files were deleted, check that the database was deleted, and then manually re-install (do not use fatastico)
