After install, can't get to dashboard (3 posts)

    Installed via SimpleScripts into a bluehost account. When I navigate to the site, there is a generic page (not WordPress) stating that it's a future home page, but no way I can see to log in.

    I'm very much a newbie. I did have a previous, though unrelated, successful install of WP on bluehost, so I know what I should be seeing. Only thing that might be a problem is that I've just moved the domain registry from Dotster to bluehost. Dotster has yet to release the domain. Forgive me if this is a, "Well, duh!", situation re. the registry holding up access.

    Thanks in advance,

    If you've installed WordPress using the domain name for the site url, you'll need to wait until the DNS propagates before logging or viewing the site. But in the meantime, log into your site via FTP and remove/rename any index.html file that might be in the root WP folder.
