Title: Problems Installing WordPress 3.3.2 Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Problems Installing WordPress 3.3.2 * [graciedesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graciedesign/) * (@graciedesign) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-installing-wordpress-332/) * I just installed the latest WordPress 3.3.2 to my website and nothing is showing up. I fixed the wp-config-sample.php using my new MySQL name, username, password, and localhost and saved it as wp-config.php but nothing is showing up. This is what I get when I type in my web address: [http://www.graciedesign.net/](http://www.graciedesign.net/) * Am I doing anything wrong? How can I fix this? I would like to know. Thanks.

Also, find out if there is problem with the server. * – check with your host if the domain name is configured properly to point to public_html folder * -It may also indicate a problem with the configuration on the server. Usually your hosting company tech support can help. * – It may indicate .htaccess issue. Regenerate .htaccess, and be sure the encoding in your text editor is Unicode No BOM * – it could be problem with the plugins. try [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F) by FTP or phpMyAdmin. * – it could be a problem with the theme. Momentarily, try switching to the default twentyeleven theme via FTP by renaming your current theme to rule out any theme specific issue. * – if these steps don’t help, download WordPress again and replace your copies of everything EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies. This should replace your core files without changing your content and settings in wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. * Thread Starter [graciedesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graciedesign/) * (@graciedesign) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-installing-wordpress-332/#post-2731301) * Actually, I manually installed version 3.3.2 to my godaddy.com account and everything is still not appearing, even though I have 3.3.2 downloaded. I guess I probably typed in the wrong root in my FTP program. * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-installing-wordpress-332/#post-2731302) * have you contacted godady about the issue? * Thread Starter [graciedesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graciedesign/) * (@graciedesign) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-installing-wordpress-332/#post-2731303) * I did and I guess it seems like they want me to install WordPress through their site as well which may cost a lot. * [shardulpandey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shardulpandey/) * (@shardulpandey) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-installing-wordpress-332/#post-2731305) * No it don’t cost anything if you are having at least one hosting plan. Follow these steps: 1. Log in to your Account Manager. 2. Click Web Hosting. 3. Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch. 4. From the Content menu, select Go Daddy Hosting Connection®. 5. Click WordPress. 6.

But when I go to my website, there is nothing there. What do I do now. I know you said I may need to install a server Wamp. Where do I do that. I am really clueless. I’ve been working on this since 10am and feel like I have gotten nowhere. * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-installing-wordpress-332/#post-2731314) * > I registered my domain name with DreamHost * It could be a DNS issue. * First, it can take anything from 24 – 72 hours for DNS changes to fully propagate. Second, different networks will update at different times during this period. That is, bear in mind that just because one provider has updated their records, it doesn’t mean that another will. * [loughcorrib](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loughcorrib/) * (@loughcorrib) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-installing-wordpress-332/#post-2731317) * Gracie What is your full address to wp folder. Try this first. I notice that default worpress is showing database error. While url and admin are showing 404 So perhaps you should revisit your config file. * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-installing-wordpress-332/#post-2731318) * Your site is working- at least at my end Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 21 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-installing-wordpress-332/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-installing-wordpress-332/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Problems Installing WordPress 3.3.2’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) * 21 replies * 9 participants * Last reply from: [kbelliveau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kbelliveau/) * Last activity: [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-installing-wordpress-332/page/2/#post-2731326) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
