    I’m setting up my new website, http://www.weeqender.com. I successfully installed WordPress using CPanel’s Fantastico. I’m using the mimbo WP theme and I was able to write a few entries and installed plugins.

    The prob is I can’t see my wordpress blog when i go to my url. What I see instead is the default html page by my webhost. Check it for yourself: http://www.weeqender.com.

    What do I replace the default index.shtml file with so I;ll see wordpress instead? I checked the mimbo files and there isn;t an html file. I tried deleting index.shtml and as expected, there was a fatal error.

    I read tutorials before posting this but I haven’t found the answer. This might be a minor error for some but I’m a WP newbie.

    Please help. It would be greatly appreciated.

    HI Samboll,

    Thanks for the reply. I deleted “index.html” and “index.php” at the public_html folder, but it didn’t work. This is what appeared:

    Did I delete files in the wrong folder?

    put the wordpress index.php back – you need that to bring up the website

    Uploaded index.php and this is what appeared:

    “Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/weeqende/public_html/index.php on line 1”

    Truth is I’m dumbfounded now. I run another wordpress blog using the same webhost but I didn’t encounter this problem before.

    this is the entire wordpress index.php

    <?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>

    upload that one or copy and paste this into notepad and save as index.php – upload

    I faced a similar problem with a different theme. Deleting the index.html ONLY did the trick. Thanks Samboli!
