    Hello,
    I am trying to replace my existing site (https://www.alanfinn.com) with a wordpress based site.
    I have installed WP and uploaded everything to my root folder. I’ve configured all the MySQL settings and have activated my WP account. I can view the WP dashboard and write blog posts etc, but when I click on ‘view site’ I am directed to my ‘old’ website homepage.
    I have tried deleting the my index.html page from my root folder using FTP and then trying to click ‘view site’ on the WP dashboard, but that just gives me an access denied message.
    How can I remove my old site and replace it with my new wordpress blog?
    Thanks, Alan

  • if the page is blank , it means that the network system cannot find your your main index page. and you must give a path for index to load a main page.
