    Hello. I’ve followed the five-minute installation instructions to the tee. Two days later I still can’t get WordPress going. I’m running on a Mac if that makes a difference. Unfortunately my hosting company has very little support and it’s impossible to get in touch with them by chat or by phone. Someone had recommended deleting the image.html file. I do and it’s still not working. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Are you sure that they didn’t mean the index.html file? That’s normally the one that you need to delete to remove the hosting companies place-holder page.

    They may have. I deleted the only index file I could find. It was in the web/content folder.

    The hosting company said I should change the name servers, which I did, but this didn’t help either.

    Everything appears to be php rather than html in my root directory. I created an index.html “test” in the root and it shows up fine. Attempting a reinstall of wordpress app from the godaddy side to see if that makes a difference. May take a while Kevin, -will let you know the result…

    Yes, now WordPress has control. That was frustrating, my guess is godaddy populates the domain first and overides the preload of a WP install. All good now with a second app install over the first.

    Oh and as a fellow mac user – don’t use Safari if you are doing theme install – use Firefox, Safari doesn’t show your real time edits.

    Yep, quite happy now, hope it works for you!
