# 'No data' error during WordPress installation

 * I am trying to install a blog at [http://www.outdoorscience.co.uk](http://www.outdoorscience.co.uk).
   When I fill in the ‘Famous Five Minute Installation’ form, I get a ‘No data sent’
   error in Chrome. I get a ‘server not found’ error in Safari (different computer)
   and a different error in IE.
 * I have FTP’d all the WordPress files, created an SQL user/database/password and
   have filled out the relevant fields in wp_config.php. My host (Free Virtual Servers)
   uses ‘localhost’ in db_host.
 * Is this a server or a WordPress problem? And how do I correct it?
 * I have another blog hosted by Free Virtual Servers, if that helps, and it is 
   appearing fine.

 * Try re-uploading all files & folders from a **fresh** download of WordPress. 
   Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the
   new ones.

 * I’ve done that already 🙁 I downloaded WordPress again, edited wp_config.php 
   again, deleted all the previous files, and uploaded new ones.
 * No luck 🙁
 * I’ve come in desperation after trying several different things. I also deleted
   and recreated my SQL database.
 * Anything else I can try? I fill in the username, password, etc. in wp_config.
   php, but tend not to mess with the advanced options…

 * Well done.
    Your website is working now.
 * Have you cleared your browser cache ?
    If you need to see how the rest of the
   world views your website, then you can use a website proxy like: [http://anonymouse.org/](http://anonymouse.org/)
 * You need to login to your website and so on.
