Struggling to get WordPress up and running with my 1and1 account

Site url?

https://www.thecosybag.net

When did you register this domain? Did you wait for 72hrs to allow the name to propagate fully?

Hmmm it must of been about 72 hours at least by now. When I log in to the admin section of 1and1 it says the domain is ready.

Do you think I might of inputed something wrong in the WP-Config.php file?

Hey Dominic Ryan,
Make sure that the domain is not parked and point the name server to your web server.

Your talking to a complete n00b here, how would I find out if my website is parked or not?

Thanks for all your responses, its nice to see there is a real community here!

since the url you gave directs to a page looks like a parked page. Check ob there is a page called index.html in your root directory. If yes, rename it to index.html.old and check out. Also try to empty your browser cache. (Firefox ctrl+F5)

Interesting, when I try and rename the file or replace it with an edited one it comes back with an error (I am doing this in FileZilla)

Also found this support page, sounds like I am having a similar problem as this guy. Do you think I have filled out my config.php file incorrectly?

Remove the wp-config.php file and re-run the install. WordPress can create the file as part of the installation process.

I have removed the file and I am still getting a error 404 page not found.

I really appreciate all the help guys and girls!

Its asking if I want to create a config file now, pretty sure you guys have sorted out my problem.

Thanks so much for the help!
