In reply to: Home page is not WordPress themeHi mparsons,
Try renaming the current index.html page in your Public_html folder. This should then allow the index.php of WordPress to display correctly. Typically, the WWW folder is a symlink to the public_html folder. The public_html folder is the root folder of your account. I hope this helps!

In reply to: Adding post not workingThe link you provided seems to be from your dashboard which we cannot view. When going to your domain is produces a blank page. The WordPress blank screen is a typical indicator of an error. I’d start troubleshooting this by looking at the server’s error logs. This should tell you what the exact error is causing the blank screen. Also here’s a link on some resources about it:

In reply to: GoDaddy domain issues in installationKeep in mind, any changes to DNS can take up to 24 to 48 hours to propagate or take effect. If you made DNS changes to your domain (i.e. changing the nameservers to GoDaddy’s nameservers that they provide to point to your hosting account) you may still be in the time frame to take effect. I hope this helps!

In reply to: Re-installing/upgrading with FantasticoDelete the current installation via Fantastico after you back it up (for good measure), then re-create it in the same directory. If you delete the installation manually, there’s a installed_in_root file in the Fantastico data folder you’ll need to edit. Hence, the easiest way is to delete it in Fantastico.

In reply to: Server not running PHP?It could be an isolated error with the hosting provider. However, contacting them to resolve it needs to be your first step. Posting a complaint about a hosting provider, while is an option, still does not resolve your issue and does not give your hosting provider an opportunity to resolve the issue for you.
My advice to you is be patient, most hosts are more than willing to work with you to resolve issues. If you are unhappy with their services, review your contract to see if you can be refunded your money and move to a different host.

In reply to: Plug in panelYou’re right both .org self hosted sites should have the plugin dashboard. I’d suggest making sure you’re logged in with the admin user. After you verify that, you’ll want to disable any plugins by renaming the plugins folder via FTP and resetting the theme to the default theme.
Starting from a blank default installation is always best practice when troubleshooting. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, it could have been an error during the installation process and you may need to re-install it. I hope this helps!

In reply to: wp-config.php Confusion (edits not reflected)I’ve seen ISP caching take up to 48 hours to update. It’s really a pain when you have to deal with it, and most tech support reps with the ISP’s are clueless as to what you are talking about. But, I’m glad it’s now resolved for you! Take Care!

In reply to: Login goes to directory listing instead of the siteYour httpd.conf file will not be in your WordPress files. It’s a server file. Depending on the type of hosting you have will determine if you have access to it. However, it may be wise since this is a server related issue that you wait for your hosting provider to get back to you.

In reply to: Login goes to directory listing instead of the siteIt sounds as if you dont have the handler set up correctly to display php pages as indexes for directories.

Remember, that load times can be directly related to your location in relation to the actual servers. I tested the site and it loads fine. However, I’ve found a few tools I like to use to test:
At any rate, the hosts site is immaterial to your issue. You may be updating the wrong php.ini file. It needs to be set to be recursive or it will only affect the folder it’s in. Also, can you provide a link to your website so we can troubleshoot it further for you.

In reply to: 404 when accessing wp-admin/install.phpAt this point you may need to talk to your college IT department that manages the server to help you troubleshoot the issue. See what they say and let us know!

In reply to: Server not running PHP?This is a community forum, while we are all WordPress users, we’re just that. We offer help because we believe in the product. We’re no different than you. The issue seems to NOT be with WordPress but your server. What “canned” responses have they given you? What is their explanation of the error? What version of PHP are you running on the server? I hope this helps!

In reply to: Multiple database usersYour host should be monitoring the connections and notify you if there’s an issue with using too much resources. Most hosts don’t mind doing this, since typically this means you’ll need to upgrade the kind of hosting package you’re using. I hope this helps!
