   A pro set up a Wordpress site for me at 1106design.com. I love it and now have downloaded WP into my other domain authorbistro.com on the same server.

   Following the instructions, when I open wp-config.php with a text editor, it looks like some of the information has been filled in, but how, I have no idea. I added the secret key and re-uploaded the file. When I enter http://www.authorbistro.com/wp-admin/install.php to continue, I get an error message that the domain can't be found.

   What do I need to do next?

   Thanks,
   Michele

   If you have only just had the domain mapped to your hosting space, it could take a few hours for the DNS to propagate.

   The domain was mapped at my host months ago. When I enter the domain name in a browser I still get an "address not found" error. What am I doing wrong?

   Thanks,
   Michele

   It looks like the domain isn't pointing at the webspace. You should speak to the person or company that set that up for you.

   Thanks. I just changed the name servers at my registrar, so hopefully that will take care of it. Do web hosts change these things without notice? I was sure it was correct before. :-)

   Not usually. Maybe that second domain was parked?
