In reply to: wp-config.php Confusion (edits not reflected)The username and password in the wp-config.php file is for the database connection and not the admin password to the dashboard. If you deleted the old installation and removed the database there’s no reason it would want those credentials. If you moved the files and database over from your local computer, you’ll need to use that same password to log in with.
I hope this helps!

In reply to: Unable to find WP-Admin siteHow did you install WordPress in the same Directory of your current site and not overwrite it? I’d suggest installing WordPress in a subfolder so you can develop the website out. Once it’s how you’d like it, you can migrate it over to replace the current website.
I hope this helps!

In reply to: Installation from CPanel, Fantastico, Root DirectoryWhats the exact error message you are getting in Fantastico? It could be a few different issues that will cause this. Have you ever used Fantastico to install software in the root directory before? If you have, it will cause a conflict if you did not un-install the software through Fantastico.

In reply to: I can't get to the admin log in page for my new installationIt sounds like you have a re-direct rule in your .htaccess file. Try renaming the htaccess file and see if that corrects the issue.

In reply to: How to get cms for my own domain?WordPress is a content management system not just blogging software. It really depends on how you want to build your website out. You’d need to install WordPress, create your pages, and add content. It’s not much different than using it for a blog. The good news is, since you’ve used it for blogging you should be comfortable working in WordPress.

In reply to: Can not install. please helpHi rayson7,
Have you tried do what esmi said and re-uploading ALL the files again? I know it seems redundant, but it sounds like your files are corrupted. Download WordPress again and start over uploading them. I hope this helps!
