    Do you have your database set up and wp-config.php filled out correctly?

      Here's a tip - use hosting that includes a decent control panel, and/or "Fantastico Deluxe" or similar... Wordpress becomes a hassle-free 1-click install and you can be up and running in seconds.

      That's a great offer from James but do think about seeing if you can sort this yourself as well, perhaps with assistance. I say that because it sounds like the sort of easy to make mistake that I made when I first started uploading my own WP's and it also sounds like you are almost there, if you can find out what you did wrong now and put it right, with or without assistance, believe me you will feel VERYYYYY good about it and it is the best way to learn because you probably won't make that mistake in a hurry again AND you will feel more confident about doing it yourself in the future AND you won't then have to rely on someone else doing it for you....

      Anyway, just some thoughts.. I hope you get it sorted

    Installed..No Charge .. Just sent you a PM ..

    I would suggest going with hostgator.com for hosting though .. It seems you are only allowed one database with startlogic and got to pay for more.. You should never have to pay for a database..

    Also StartLogic servers are extermely slow ..

      And Hostgator has Fantastico which makes WP installation almost too easy

    Startlogic has one click install also .. Just slow servers and they only allow one database (unless you purchase more)..

    Personally I use hostgator, always will till they kick me out ..lol

    HI James,

    I don't do my own wordpress instal/work. Can I give someone else access to this to put on my blogs?

    Thank you,

        You need to set up a database first and then upload the files and then modify the wp-config file with your database username and password.

        If you still need it sorted let me know.

        All the best
