   I've uploaded Wordpress and got it installed, I can access the Dashboard, but I cannot view the blog on the root of the website. I've deleted index.html and all that's there now for an index file is index.php. I got the SQL server and user set up and working (I think?).

   I do have an .htaccess file, currently in it is just says:

   # BEGIN WordPress
   # END WordPress"

   And here's the contents of index.php:

   <?php
   /**
   * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
   * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
   *
   * @package WordPress
   */

   /**
   * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
   *
   * @var bool
   */
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

   /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
   require('./wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>

   What am I doing wrong, why isn't it coming up? :(

   Something is redirecting every .php page I load to the same page-- the page with the 'Connected successfully' message. Even pages I make up redirect there-- http://www.willp-photo.com/stupid.php. I can't quite tell what is going on. You've uploaded incorrectly or edited something you shouldn't have. Or your server has some odd setting somewhere.

   What have you done exactly?

   You may start by re-uploading everything very carefully. Also turn off any plugins you may have installed and switch to the default theme if you're not using it already.

   I had edited the index.php page to try to get it to do SOMETHING. But it didn't work, I've re-uploaded the default index.php file and it's back to normal, but it says "This site is under development" at the top like it does when I have no index.html page.

   I actually just found out that via my website's control panel I can install Wordpress, so I installed it (basically starting over again), and still it says the same "under development." I don't get it :(

   Nevermind, I got it. I had to go into my control panel's .htaccess editor and change the default home page to index.php.
