 * Hello, I recently decided to create a website using WordPress as my CMS. I purchased
   a domain and Bluehost to host the website.
 * I have ran through the WordPress installation process many times, but still get
   Error code: ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE when I run the script.
    1. Ive uploaded all the
   WordPress files to my root directory 2. created a mysql database 3. edited the
   config.php file
 * Could the problem be that I have yet verify my BlueHost account? I just purchased
   hosting yesterday and can’t verify over the phone until tomorrow. I think this
   could be the problem because I can’t access my server until i verify the account.

 * Have you discussed this with your hosting provider?

 * Yes, possibly it’s because you have to confirm / verify your account first. But
   as Tara said before, open a ticket with your hosting provider.
