Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: can't login to site, issues with styles being loadedI’d suggest making sure you turn off the default theme, rename the plugin folder (so you have a clean start for the time being), then try renaming the .htaccess file. See if there’s a conflict there. Make sure the site URL and HOME settings are updated. I hope this helps!

In reply to: wp-admin/install.php 404 not found errorNo worries! I’m glad you got the issue resolved.
If you’re running the default theme and no plugins it’s time to contact your hosting provider to see if they can shed some light on the errors. Typically, 500 errors are usually related to file permissions however, they are just general until you look at the server’s error logs.
Try resetting your permalinks and see if that helps!

In reply to: transition from .com to .orgYou edit DNS with the domain registrar. I’m not sure if you purchased the domain through wordpress.com where to edit the DNS settings. However, you may want to try posting a question on their forums.

In reply to: Server linking problemsYou need to explain your issue with a bit more detail. What do you mean by link to WordPress? You actually install WordPress on the server.

In reply to: UpdatingIt will make changes as needed. However, some plugins and themes may still not work. Ideally though, it should be a smooth transition. I updated mine about 4 days ago without incident and I use a fair amount of plugins.

In reply to: transition from .com to .orgYou’d need to change your DNS nameservers to whatever Bluehost provided you. Keep in mind any changes to DNS records can take up to 48 hours to take effect.
You need to update the site url and home. Here’s a link to that:

In reply to: wp-admin/install.php 404 not found errorThe permissions have to do with the user. The permissions are assigned to the user, typically when you attach a user to the database. Did you create a new user and attach that user to the database?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: wp-admin/install.php 404 not found errorIt depends on how your hosting is set up. However, you should be able to create a new user, assign all the privileges for that user in relation to the database and then attach the user to the database. You’ll need to update the wp-config.php file with the new username and password once you’ve done so.

In reply to: wp-admin/install.php 404 not found errorI tested the connection to see and the error is showing up as a 10060 MYSQL error, which appears to be a permissions issue with the database user. When you created the database user did you assign the user all privileges?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: wp-admin/install.php 404 not found errorYou need to edit the post you just put up and change your database credentials. You should never post your database credentials in an open forum. The issue is not with the database, the error you are getting is due to file ownership and permissions. I strongly recommend you change your database credentials if these are the ones you are currently using as this has the potential to compromise your website’s security.
