    Ok so my site www[dot]example123[dot]com, when i go to it its just a blank white page and has 2 links, one for my wordpress2.9.1 zip file, and another called /wordpress. If you click on the /wordpress, it takes you to my actual site. How do I make it so instead of having to go to wwwdotexample123dotcom/wordpress, you can just go to wwwdotexample123dotcom? Sorry I know this is probably a ridiculous noob question but I am brand new to wordpress and have never actualy hosted one before. Any help greatly appreciated thank you

    when you unzip the wordpress zip file, it creates the wordpress directory in the root.

    You can change your domain's destination to point to the wordpress folder..

    or

    you can transfer all the files to the root..

    Looks like you have uploaded your wordpress files in public_html/wordpress/ that is the reason why you are getting this. But there is a very simple way around it. Here are the steps:
    1. Copy your index.php file from public_html/wordpress/ to public_html/
    2. In your WordPress admin go to options. Under General setting, change Blog address to http://www.yoursite.com
    3. Then you need to edit the index.php file in your /public_html folder. Change the line that says
    require('./wp-blog-header.php');
    to
    require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');

    Save the file and you're done!
