I just set up a new hosting account with Black Hawk Data Services and I'm trying to install wordpress and it wont freaking work! I've been at this all day. I've tried using fantastico and you think how can I go wrong there? Well no matter how I install any script including wordpress and b2 into my root directory it gives me a "500 internal server error." I tried installing wordpress through fantastico and manually. Nothing works. What the heck is going on?

I really need help and I'd prefer to talk to someone in real time using instant message. I've been using the wordpress support forums all day and its too slow to get responses.

Why don't you install it in a folder? If you do that you can easily (as in 2 easy steps) get wordpress as your main page.

If you have a .htaccess file in your root directory delete it because it effects wordpress too sometimes.
