Installed Wordpress Softaculous but I can't access the admin panel. Please help.? - Steve Falkerson - 04-28-2014 10:16 AM

I need to say first, I am very new to webpage design. I just installed Worpress via Softaculous which was located on my pages cPanel X. The Softaculous page says the install was successful and gives me both a MySite.com/wp and MySite.com/wp/wp-admin address that go to broken links.

What did I do wrong? How do I actually log into my Wp admin page so I can create and update my page? Do I need to install some files first on my server? Thank you.
I should add this is all I have done with the website.

I think i know where you went wrong. When installing wp using softaculous in installation process you left wp as In Directory. It is best to leave that option empty.

So your site will be MySite.com and not MySite.com/wp which is pretty ugly for site address.
Then your wp-admin address will be MySite.com/wp-admin/ and you should log with no problems if you have done all right
