WordPress is installed in a folder called WordPress, not in your main folder. You have to upload the contents of the wordpress folder. Not the folder itself. I hope this helps!

No data received
Unable to load the web page because the server sent no data.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this web page later.
Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.

You already have a WordPress website up there on the root of the domain.
