    Hi I have recently install wordPress. I have uploaded all everything. Opening the
    wp-admin/install.php I have completed the sign up process. Everything is ok there. Whenever I want to write any post there is an "Error on the page". I can't
    write any post. I can't also upload images.

    What should I do now?

    Where can I get WP API key.

    Thank in advance

    Since this is a new WP installation you just did.

    1. Delete all the WP files.
    2. Delete the WP Database
    3. Upload the new WP files you downloaded from Wordpress.org
    4. Run the Install script (install.php)

    Good luck

    Thank You Bugster.
    Could You kindly explain " Since this is a new WP installation you just did."

    Does this error happens on first installation?

    Please consider these following facts, When replying, Should these fact be
    considered or related in anyway with my problem.

    Firstly, I created my site using FrontPage. And the site is running well.
    www.earnmoneyonlinetips.com

    I have "index.htm" file in my root directory. Does this conflict "index.php" of WordPress?
    Should I delete my old files of my site?

    Recently, When I open "www.earnmoneyonlinetips.com" my old site is shown. How can I ensure that whenever someone enters in address bar "www.earnmoneyonlinetips.com" my WP blog site will be shown?

    A lot thanks in advance

    You can get a wordpress api key through the same site you downloaded wordpress from. It sounds likely that you either didn't install wordpress in the root directory the first time, but if you have an index.htm that you don't want to display, why not remove or rename it?

    If you're changing the site into a blog, you're better off removing the wordpress install you attempted, then zipping up all the files from your web site, moving the archive out of the document root and removing them, then installing wordpress again. Wp's forums are a great source of information for help with install issues too, by the way.
