    There doesn’t appear to be anything at that domain. Have you spoken to your hosts about this?

    If I upload a website from EZgenerator or Serif Web Apps it shows fine so I know the ftp/hosting is ok.

    Try re-uploading all files & folder from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    Done that twice already as my first thoughts were either a corrupt download or corrupted from unzipping…. 🙁

    Just contacted my web host to make sure PHP is working ok on my server.

    Fingers crossed it’s that 🙂

    Seems streamline.net hosting plans support php/mysql.

    Do you have the mysql database ready?. During the installation process you have to enter database name, user and password.

    Delete the wp-config.php file and just go to your website using browser. The installation will auto run and create a wp-config.php file for you with the information entered during installation.

    Hope this will help.

    Just gave that a go and still 404 error, and that’s on any page I visit. Looks more and more like a PHP problem on the hosting end me thinks?

    By the way, thank you very much for each of your time to help me out with this. 🙂

    Streamline host web site says
    “1 Click Installer
    The one click installer (Linux only) enables you to install applications such as WordPress all with one click.”

    If you are on a linux hosting you can use it from your control panel.

    Thanks again everyone.
