WordPress Error

When we try to look at our being developed WordPress site in a browser (FireFox, Chrome) we get this:

Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error

It looks fine in design mode.

What causes this?

Thanks

Hi,

Could you check if the installation folders belong to Wordpress or Joomla?
Go to you cpanel, plesk or directadmin or use FTP and check the files.

if you go to (replace the url with your domain name)
www.yoursite.com/administrator
do you see a login page for Joomla?

To lenamtl:

I used www.rkassoc.org/Phils/administrator. I get the attached.

If you go to rkassoc.org/Phils/wp-admin, the site is there & can be viewed, changed, etc. using WordPress.

It is NOT in Joomla

Ok because I saw similar issue with Joomla.

If you go to this address you will see the site with no error using Chrome
http://www.rkassoc.org/Phils/

What is the exact page that shows the error?

Maybe try to clear your browser cache & history

It doesn't show an error now; my son changed the theme, that made it show things, but it's not right.

Just hold on, we need to look at some things.

Thanks

Ok no problem

It seems to work now. We have it at a subfolder on our development site; specifically www.rkassoc.org/Phils.

Note that the subfolder is with a capital P; when I tried it in Chrome with the lower case p it didn't work.

I was always under the assumption that case sensitivity did not apply at the url level. Or does it?

The web server is Apache, so of course it's linux.

Thanks
