Home page not uploaded to the server
-
Recently, I started up a wordpress website. I’ve made a few pages. They all load just fine. However, the home page does not. I am not sure if I need to do something with it or if it’s up to the server to change something.
The error message I get is as follows:
This site is under development
This page indicates the webmaster has not uploaded a website to the server.
For information on how to build or upload a site, please visit your web hosting company’s site.
Also, before I forget, I don’t know anything about php. So hardcoding is not my strong suit.

You did not specify a URL, but your question is common for WordPress.ORG installs, see above for links.
You probably need to delete a html file, no coding required.

You have a WordPress.ORG install on IPAGE.COM
Your blog is here: http://www.trabexbooks.com/wordpress –
You have some changes, but they are common changes – but please read all of the instructions and DO NOT just change the address in your control panel – that will give you even more problems

Thank you for your help but…
“Reading the instructions” is a nice thing to say, but harder to do- especially when you don’t know which instructions to read or where to find them.
There was a home page uploaded to the website, but I deleted it. I am not sure if that’s now causing the 404 error.

Open an account over at WordPress.ORG, the user name there is not related to WordPress.COM – so you can use the same email there as here.
If you explain exactly what you did and the URL, they should be able to explain what you need to do. I used to help at .ORG and your question is one that was seen pretty much every day

Ick. This is getting more complicated than I thought. Deleting the home page was a bad idea. First I have to download that again, and then I have to figure out this home page issue.
It is increasingly looking like I will use another service besides wordpress (or hard code the site myself).

The 404 Page not found is not a problem, I repeat not a problem.
You probably deleted the sample Post and did not change the default home page – neither is a big problem – takes all of a couple of minutes to solve
Get help to have your blog / WordPress.ORG install show up when people visit your root directory – then the other things are easy – the WordPress software is relative easy to use, and it searches well if you follow some basic good WordPress practices.

Well, as of now, I can’t do anything with the dashboard in wordpress. It just brings up blank screens. So I’ll download all the files I have, delete everything, install, then copy over what I have. If that doesn’t work, it’s on to something else.
