• Hi everyone, I am having major trouble trying to set up this WordPress.org thing.

    Long story short, this is what happened;

    1. Needed to make a website to advertise myself as an artist. Great. Easiest way – WordPress blog. Signed up, etc.
    2. Bought a domain name, web hosting and DNS hosting with an Australian hosting company. Tried and failed to install WordPress on there. Did some digging and found that I could get the one-click install via GoDaddy. Thought it was worth paying for to save myself the hassle.
    3. Signed up to GoDaddy with the economy WP hosting plan, installed the app. When I go to the http://www.i-am-neykid.com/wp-admin it says “this doesn’t exist on the server”.
    4. I think it’s something to do with the DNS thing but I have NFI how to get it to point to my GoDaddy hosting as I can’t find a DNS address. I don’t even know if this is the issue.

    The reason why I didn’t get it sorted out on my “old” hosting was because it kept changing “WordPress” and “WPress” in the “create Mysql database and user” to username_WordPress and username_WPress” and every combo I tried resulted in the same “so and so does not exist in this directory”.

    ARGHHH I am so frustrated at the moment, having fiddled around with this for the past 3 days and not gotten anywhere >.< Obviously I am missing something very obvious or am just completely stupid. HELP!

  • log in to your godaddy hosting section
    find the name of their dns (domain name servers)
    copy this down
    go to company you bought domain name from
    put in values from godaddy dns in the name server fields
    allow 24-48 hours for the update

    I can totally relate to you. I went through this recently and wanted to throw my computer through the wall. Server companies and domain companies need better customer service. lol I finally figured it out through trial and error and agree with samboll’s answer.
