 * Hi,
    I am using Godaddy as my hosting provider. I installed a wordpress site 
   using the 5 minute install and had everything running happily for the past couple
   of weeks.
 * This morning I went to my site and it was hanging when I browsed it.
    Since it’s
   a new install I simply delete all the files recreatd the database (as I did before)
   and tried to reinstall.
 * I’ve edited my config file and am at the step where I browse to [http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/install.php).
   
   When I go there the page just hangs. In my browser status bar it says ‘Waiting
   for [http://www.mysite.com…&#8217](http://www.mysite.com…&#8217); and the page
   is blank.
 * In the past if I had a wrong db name or password I’d get a message telling me
   so. So it’s not that.
 * I’m stumped.
    Anyone seen this before?
 * Thanks

 * Not sure?? Make sure you upload the wp-config-sample.php file first with all 
   your other WP files, then upload your wp-config.php file, and then delete the
   sample folder. I’ve had some install errors not following this step exactly like
   this.
 * I don’t remember if you can Power cycle a hosting account but if you can you 
   might also want to try that.
 * Sorry I couldn’t be more help.
