    I followed all the usual steps to install WP but once I enter the domain name in the browser, it’s not starting the setup process. I’ve never had this problem before. I edited the config file (normally it just automatically starts the installation once I create the database) and that still don’t make it start. Have I missed something?

    Ensure that the mod_rewrite module is enabled on your server, as it’s required for WordPress to handle URLs properly.

    • You may also want to check if there is an .htaccess file in the root directory and ensure it’s not blocking anything.

    Your domain is incorrect

    sdstern@sds-desk ~> nslookup amberhouseuk.co.uk
    ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 127.0.0.53
    Server:		127.0.0.53
    Address:	127.0.0.53#53

    ** server can't find amberhouseuk.co.uk: SERVFAIL

    sdstern@sds-desk ~ [1]> whois amberhouseuk.co.uk
    [Querying whois.nic.uk]
    [whois.nic.uk]

        No match for "amberhouseuk.co.uk".

        This domain name has not been registered.

    Thank you for your replies. It’s showing as active on my dashboard but I also suspected they didn’t register it properly. They have not responded to my questions.

    I’ll go check the .htaccess file now and forward these responses to the host. Hopefully they can fix it soon
