 * Thanks everyone. Since this was a new blog, I cleared the server, and started
   over. In the process I discovered that in the wp-config.php I did not include
   the first part of the database name by making the corresponding change under 
   $table_prefix.
 * Everything is now working OK.

 * Further to the previous post, I meant to type example.com/wordpress and not the“
   link” quoted, which could be regarded as an x-rated website.

 * Thanks for the info. I did follow step 4, but your question caused me to take
   a look where I created the folder called “wordpress.” I noticed I created it 
   under the “public” folder. Should it have been created under the Root folder 
   to give the path as — [http://www.xxxx.com/wordpress?](http://www.xxxx.com/wordpress?)

 * Changed to default theme — Home page still blank with no error messages. Uploaded
   the other theme to wp-content/themes.
