Did you upload mercury as that is not installed with wordpress and looks like that theme is not in the right place.
Did you have wordpress installed working before you added mercury theme.
I go into ‘mercury’ and see 5 folders and another folder ‘themes’. Go into ‘themes’ and see ‘mercury’ that has all theme files.
The mercury that in themes folder that in mercury is the one needs to be in
wp-content/themes
As is you have
wp-content/themes/mercury/themes/mercury
govatel,
The way it is now in wp-content/themes/mercury, there are 5 folders-documentation, License, plugins, themes, psds, and 1 file logo_mm.psd. When you go to wp-content/themes/mercury/themes/mercury there are 7 additional folders-admin, config_files, jquery.fancybox-1.3.4, js, styles, types, images and 24 files.
Question 1: I uploaded the theme mercury into the wordpress /themes folder as stated above.
Question 2: I did not have wordpress working at any time, only blank white screen.
Do you think I should move the last mercury folders and files into the wp-content/themes/mercury containing the 5 folders listed above, to combine all the folders and files?
You need to switch to default twenty theme by renaming mercury folder that is in wp-content/themes folder to see if wordpress is working

How do you
switch to default twenty theme by renaming mercury folder that is in wp-content/themes folder to see if wordpress is working
?
I did go into /themes and rename mercury to default. Ran /wp-admin/install.php-no change.
When I go to cPanel DB info, I see 0.00MB for size of DB.
looks like there is problem in your database information in wp_config.php recheck the database connection information.
govpatel,
I deleted my theme from the /theme folder. I deleted my existing DB and using the DB wizard to make a new DB.
My intention is to work on the wordpress side. Without making any revisions to wordpress, except the DB info in config.php, I will /wp-admin/install.php and hope that wordpress will work using the twentyten default theme.
What are your feelings about that?
Hey mlapage!
First of all! download the latest wordpress from it’s repository!
extract the zip and FTP INTO the public_html
now when you just type the domain name you will be landed to the Installation screen.. you don’t need to manually enter the DB infos into the config file..
johnibom,
I did that and I guess I expect something to be displayed. Nothing happened.
When you wrote
now when you just type the domain name you will be landed to the Installation screen..
What do you mean type domain name where-in URL in browser?
Thanks
in browser..
Please JUST FTP the WORDPRESS FOLDER and let me know the URL
johibom,
I downloaded the wp 3.1 from this site and unzipped it. I FTP’d the worpress folder (renamed wrdpress) to public_html on my host site.
The URL (my site): http://www.mimirbooks.com/
I have done nothing else. I have note deleted the DB.
That’s it. Thanks

Why did you rename wordpress to public_html
As is when I click on your url I see the index of all files and folder so that must be your public_html root folder and has wordpress folder but spelling is wrong that is why you can not install wordpress
/wrdpress/
http://www.mimirbooks.com/wrdpress
opens the install program
rename that wordpress if you want and then run install program to install in folder
You have some other folder in public_html I do not know what they are and you do not have have any index file in root that is whay I can see your index.
I changed spelling to wordpress for title of folder. Went to URL and selected wordpress and get message no wp-config.php file found. Would I like to create a configuration file-yes I would. I enter my DB info to the appropriate boxes and select to continue and get:
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?
If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.
The DB info is correct, have checked DB setup.
I have contacte host support for help.
Stuck again!
???
May you need use something else for DB_Host default is localhost you need check with host what you need to use.
