  Hi,

  My server person set up a place for me to FTP WordPress to, which I did, and now, I want to process the /wp-admin/setup-config.php file, but when I try to access http://www.myexample.com/mysite/wp-admin/setup-config.php, I get 404 not found.

  Note: http://www.myexample.com/mysite/ is not the real name

  Please advise

  Since you haven’t provided us with the URL of the site you need help with, but also since we do not have FTP or PHP access here on WordPressdotcom, it sounds like you are talking about a site using the standalone WP (org) software.

  If so, you’ll want to post at the support forums at https://wordpress.org/support If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums you can register one on that page.

  Standalone WP and WordPressdotcom are different entities; more information about the differences can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
