    My domain is hosted by GoDaddy and they installed Word Press.

    This is what the configuration code currently looks like:

    <?php
    //Connect To Database
    $hostname='out0923310444676.db.4611885.hostedresource.com';
    $username='out0923310444676';
    $password='your password';
    $dbname='out0923310444676';
    $usertable='your_tablename';
    $yourfield = 'your_field';

    mysql_connect($hostname,$username, $password) OR DIE ('Unable to connect to database! Please try again later.');
    mysql_select_db($dbname);

    $query = 'SELECT * FROM $usertable';
    $result = mysql_query($query);
    if($result) {
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    $name = $row['$yourfield'];
    echo 'Name: '.$name;
    }
    }
    ?>

    When I go to http://www.outcastgirls.com/blog i get the following error message:

    "The page isn't redirecting properly

    Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

    * This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

    ALSO, I'M UNABLE TO LOGIN TO:
    http://www.outcastgirls.com/blog/wp-admin/ - I used the same admin name and password I use to login to my WordPress account.

    I contacted GoDaddy but they are clueless as always. They asked me if my blog is redirected to the dedicated IP address or to my domain... when they are the ones who did the install, not me! How can I possibly know what they did. This is outrageous! So please, if you know a solution let me know because I can't deal with the incompetent GoDaddy anymore.

    I can help but need a little bit of info. Your config file looks correct! It seems to be DNS! I can probably fix it fast with temporary access to your DNS. I just set mine up with no problem but I did the install myself. And I also installed it to a subdomain successfully.

    Looks like your site goes to an Oops page now instead of redirecting. If you run into a redirect issue again, try renaming the .htaccess to .htaccess.txt to see if the site resolves. If you can get to your site after renaming it, then the .htaccess is the issue.

    *Please understand that modification of the .htaccess file may cause issues with your site resolving properly. Make sure to name it back to .htaccess once you have completed this troubleshooting step.

    As for the logging in issue, if you installed in Hosting Connection you can review your login information by clicking 'Your Applications' in the Hosting Control Center. From there select 'My Applications' and 'Install Details' to view these details.

    This is what my .htaccess looks like... I don't think there's an issue with it. I have only used it to redirect my old blog and my website, but there isn't anything related to WordPress. Should anything be added in .htaccess to redirect WordPress correctly?

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^outcastgirls.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.outcastgirls.com/$1 [L,R=301]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^outcastgirls.blogspot.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.outcastgirls.blogspot.com/$1 [L,R=301]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)-(.*)/(.*)\.html index.php?app=$1&ns=$2&ref=$3 [L,PT]

    The reason "Oops" was showing for awhile is because I uninstalled WordPress. I installed it again but still isn't working.

    I did not see any changes in the Domain Manager. No nameservers were added. I did not see anything added in the DNS either.
    Should I add a new CNAME or A (Host)?
    The only thing I noticed is that my host is pointing to my IP address and GoDaddy suggested it points to outcastgirl.com but I'm not sure what they were referring to exactly and what would be the impact on my website. This is what they sent me:

    "The http://www.outcastgirls.com/blog URL is displaying a redirect loop so you may want to troubleshoot your htaccess file configuration to ensure it is configured properly. We reviewed your hosting account with our advanced hosting support and they advise that you check your WordPress settings to ensure that it is properly set to point to outcastgirls.com and not the dedicated IP address."

    Where can I find the WordPress settings? Are they talking about wp-settings.php? There is no IP address in that file.

    I should probably mention that I still have the CNAME for my old blog:

    CNAME: feeds.outcastgirls.com Points to: ghs.google.com

    I don't know if that has anything to do with the WordPress install.

    Thank you kindly for your help. I do appreciate it very much.

    Rename your .htaccess and try again.

    Why rename the .htaccess? This will screw up my shopping cart...

    If your blog isnt working what good is the shopping cart? The suggestion is for you to rename the htaccess so that you may gain access and try to resolve the redirect problem. Once its resolved you can rename it back - note I didnt say "DELETE" htaccess.

    What is causing the redirect may I ask?

    This is what my .htaccess looks like... I don't think there's an issue with it. I have only used it to redirect my old blog and my website, but there isn't anything related to WordPress.

    Are using to redirect this blog too?

    Besides

    The reason "Oops" was showing for awhile is because I uninstalled WordPress. I installed it again but still isn't working.

    If its a new install, is that htaccess even in the right place?

    If your blog isn't working what good is the shopping cart?

    The question is: If my shopping cart is not working, what good is the blog?

    I don't make money off of my blog - I make money off of my online store, which is why the shopping cart is essential. If I rename the .htaccess the shopping cart will not work.

    This is an e-commerce site. The blog is only used as a SEO tool to increase traffic and promote my product.

    There is no .htaccess file in the WordPress directory. The .htaccess file I'm talking about controls the shopping cart and the entire e-commerce site. What I'm trying to find out is if I should make any changes in my current .htaccess file or create a new .htaccess in the WordPress directory. And if so, what kind of changes.

    The problem is not in the htaccess. Again it is in the domain name services in your control panal! email me at petrock123@gmail.com Ill send you some info or I can call you and walk you through the checking on the phone. Its a simple fix! Its still redirecting which you can not see in a browser. I have several succesful wordpress set up and have been through this with godaddy several times.

    yakimova77 your site looks good.

    TIP:
    Everyone with a godaddy hosting account!

    I recommend to give godaddy’s DNS at least one hour after adding any sub domains or changing any A or Cname fields. This will give the DNS time to correctly find your files. Do not add anything to your file system during this one hour! Set it and leave it alone this will save you a lot of frustration! Also if you are creating a subdomain like to add wordpress in. Do not install Wordpress untill the 1 hour mark has passed. Sometimes you can get lucky and the DNS will set up faster just wait! Again its only 1 hour and you will be a "Happy WordPresser".

    Cheers
