   http://www.ephemeralstyle.us/index.html

   really? I click that and get a page.

   [update: ok, now I don't]

   So, where'd you install the blog? Did you inadvertantly delete its index.php already?

   No, i see the index.php, i just installed it in public_html

   teh index.php is in wp_content or something, i copied it and put it in public_html and it still didnt work

   you want the index.php that is in the wordpress root. Not the one from wp_content. They're not the same!

   The index.php file that sits in the public_html folder there, where the wp-config.php file sits... should be about 1kb in size and should contain the following codes in it..

   <?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>

    It's the wp-config.php file.. not folder.. ;)

    Look at my image again.. like this:
    public_html/
    wp-admin <-folder
    wp-content <-folder
    wp-includes <-folder
    index.php <- should be 1kb in size and contains the above codes I gave you..
    wp-config.php
    all other files..

    UPDATE: He had 2.0.4 uploaded and installed, files for the root were missing..

    I just deleted the 2.0.4 files, uploaded new 2.0.5 files, ran the upgrade.. and she seems to be working just fine now! Oh yeah, also had to delete the .htaccess file that was there, that contained MS Frontpage crap in it..

    Anyway, here she is: http://ephemeralstyle.us/

    Happy Blogging!
