• Here is the deal, I had a canceled domain.com I then turned around and installed WP for new domain name. downloaded alright it seemed. when got the email saying its active and click on the links. the

    Admin Area: https://blahblah.com/wordpress/wp-admin when I do keep saying page not found. the same with the link

    https://dohdaa.com/wordpress/ and each comes up with same no page found. cant figure out and went thru all I can see, plus uninstalled and reinstalled.

    I truly am not very bright or technical and don’t see what the deal can be. WP installed and worked fine right off the bat. with first domain name I had.

    Search all thru the forums to get a clue but now give up and maybe just the whole thing.

    with hostgator all this time and like said cant figure what the deal is. at first maybe took a hour or so for it to kick in or whatever. If there is something easy I’ll try anything but the technical stuff is over my head.

    Help a brother out?? ??

    Oh, next week getting a new pc so I should download WP on it with no problem being there wont be any screw ups till later.

  • When did you register this domain name? It can take up to 72 hours for a domain name to fully propagate and be ready to use.

    Not an issue; you do not need WP on your computer to work with your sites at HostGator.

    In addition to what esmi said, Where did you register (buy) your domains? HG or somewhere else?

    got my domain with HG, you mean like use some of those other ones like weebly or those similar? I’ve seen them around also. Figured WP was the best. Was just thinking which is a rare event. altho I can come up with simple HTML pages that will look ok,. If I remember you can incorporate HTML into pages of WP. I think that would invest more of time would want,. and of course there would be plenty of brain farts to put me in a snag or sumthin. was just curious to do something can end up with my domain name.

    More I think about it the word nevermind is the word ??

    Hi again, being a worrier or what ever, how to tell if wordpress is downloaded correctly,. or where would one find it in the pc?

    You won’t find WordPress on your PC, it’s not an application you install there. ??

    WordPress is only installed on your hosting provider, and you access it via your browser.

    yhx james, was curious as hell,. I’ve seen some files on the pc and not sure what was up with that,. I also wonder say with quickinstall when you get ready to dl part would be like this,.

    Install WordPress

    Application URL (where you will find the app in your browser):
    https:// stupider.com / _______, not sure what was put in the box,. also a poor memory and I mean poor,. cant remember what I did when had WP on my other domain before I canceled that one

    this was in email saying ready

    also this https://www.goober.com
    And https://www.gobler.com/wp-admin

    everything said could not find page,. I admit not so bright, prob some foolish mistake on my part

    Your installation is ready. You can access it now by going to https://hamster.com/orwhat/

    I did go thru a lot of info both in forums and pages like you said and even more. some was so far above intelligence to even want to try. used quickinstall, fantastico, or whatever or five minute download,. some no way hear wanna try outta fear,.

    some zip files along the way and unzipped and all that jazz, basically going blindly,. which may not have helped,. link you provided went over several times before,. and I thought I was downloading the thing properly,.

    as said did something wrong from last time, even tried uninstall and restall,. frustrated,. got stuff set up to work on WP

    sorry I was goofing off,,… every thing is https://www.glannster.com on all that stuff above.

    oh I know about the up to 72 hrs in some case,. near 3 days now even before I tried experimenting

    I’m getting “Oops! Google Chrome could not find https://www.glannster.com,” and there’s no record of a glannster.com in the WHOIS database.

    that’s whats doing to on every browser

    Right, so you need to register that domain then, it doesn’t exist. You mentioned above that you “had a canceled domain.com,” I assume that was glannster.com. Did you ever re-register it?

    Thread Starter glannst

    (@glannst)

    oh and yes went to the databases,. believe did that correctly,. hell I don’t know

    no glannster was the new name. let me look around to see where re register, kinda forget where it was

    Moderator James Huff

    (@macmanx)

    Ok, because glannster.com is not a registered domain name. If you want to use glannster.com, you need to purchase it through a registrar.
