 * Hello all,
    I’m pretty new at this so please bear with me 🙂
 * I have just bought a second domain name and hosting, but when I install wordpress,
   the wp-admin page shows [an error occurred while processing this directive].
   
   My first domain with the same hosting has no problem running wordpress, so I 
   know it’s not a host problem.
 * I’ve also searched throughout the forum but cannot find a situation that’s similar
   to mine. All the ones I saw were that they had already get the site running and
   it had something to do with plugins and things. But I haven’t yet made a change
   to my site.
 * Please help.
 * Thanks all!
