a couple questions:
are you hosting on a windows server, or a linux server?
did you update wp-config.php with your database information?
are you sure that you installed wordpress in the wordpress subfolder, or is it in a root folder, or someplace else?
I’m not entirely sure about the server, but on the website it says OS and backup: stable linux with apache. So I’m assuming linux.
I did update wp-config with my database info. I’m pretty confident that is not messed up.
And yes, I did install wordpress in the wordpress subfolder.
I did manage to get something to show up now, but it is an error message: Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.
* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?
I think the database server is running, and that the hostname, username and password are correct. But I do not know anything about databases. What could be wrong?
I figured it out. For others having a similar problem, the solution was that my db host name was wrong. Thanks for the help ladydelaluna. 🙂
you’re welcome – though you’re the one who found the problem!
it’s always the little things, huh? 😉
