# temp. domain?

 * I’m getting the usual “There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file” error when
   I view my site after an auto-install from my server/hosting package. The DB password
   etc. is already configured.
    Do you think that I’m getting the error because 
   the new DNS changes for the domain that WP is installed on haven’t gone through
   yet, and I’m viewing it from the temporary domain? (host/IP address) I should
   probably wait until the transfer is complete before I attempt to work on it, 
   ya think? Thanks much!

 * Some hosts do not activate a whole account when you are still using the temp 
   url. Files other than index may well not run.

 * Yup, there was already a wp-config.php file in there, with all of the required
   DB info (password, DB name) entered already.
    Yes, might as well wait to see 
   what happens when the dns change goes through. Thanks guys, ~K
