All I get is a blank white screen in both FireFox and IE8.
There is probably an index.html or home.html file in the same directory as the WordPress index.php file. Remove the index.html or home.html file, either via FTP or your hosting provider’s file manager, and all should be fine.
No, you get 404’s on index.html, index.htm, home.htm and home.html. You get blank pages for just the domain name and index.php.
Sorry, just went off the O.P.’s description. Didn’t have time to investigate first hand.
@adiant
so what do you suggest I should do then?
Cause I’m breaking my head over this thing. Arghh
Hard to advise when things keep changing. You were reporting the “under development” message. I looked and I was seeing a blank page. Now, when I check, you have a WordPress Version 3 installation with no posts or pages.
Try manually resetting your plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.
If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This which will force the Default theme (WordPress 1.5 – 2.9.2) or the Twenty Ten theme (WordPress 3.0 and higher) to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue.
