Ok…I just found the reason. I had BPS Pro 5.0 in the root of my acct (same place I know have wordpress). I deleted the wordpress installation and went digging around in the Public_html folder.
When I uninstalled BPS Pro, I thought it removed all of its files –turns out it didn’t. This acct is just an old one I use to test/develope …stuff. Anyway, there were a few left over BPS Pro files – after I deleted them, everything seems to work!

Sorry for not being more thorough.

I’m in the same boat. I just installed wordpress 3.2.1 with Fantastico De Luxe on my Hostagtor acct. and It refuses to work!! This is a fresh install !!!! No Plugins-just the Akismet and Hello Dolly it comes with – neither are activated !!
HERE IS WHATS WRONG:

in the dashboard – under Appearance

nothing works in either “widgets”, or “menus” – meaning that clicking on anything on those pages does absolutely nothing-the side menu works, but help, screen options, howdy ***, widgets will not drag, —nothing works!

This is what I get in the address bar when I click on help or screen options:
https://*******.com/wp-admin/widgets.php#contextual-help,
https://*******.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php#contextual-help

Everything on the other dashboard pages (posts, media, links, etc…all work fine)!

This is a fresh install! I have tried both of the included themes (twenty eleven 1.2 and twenty ten 1.2)
I have deleted the wordpress install with fantastico and tried again, nothing works!

I’ve NEVER had a problem with Fantastico/WordPress before… So Frustrating !!!!!!

Thanks for the reply’s. I will go with just moving the file out of the public_html directory.

Thanks again for the advice.

I finally found it…sometimes i’m my own worst enemy! For anyone with the same problem in the future, here is where it (wp-config-sample.php) is: using filezilla -in the remote site window just highlight public_html (do no open it) in the bottom right window you get a list of folders and files…it is about halfway down. And as I said previously, it is wp-config-sample.php.
