Welcome to the Forums, @Chamche

Any error messages to share with us: PHP, apache? Also, what is the output in the browser?

Hi @Chamche, and welcome to the forum!

The permissions look right. 

I see that you registered your domain a few days ago, so dns has had time to propogate.

Are there any error entries in your log files?

You can copy a test index.html file to the public_html folder to see if it displays correctly. It only need contain some generic text.

If it does not display, then it would indicate an error with the server setup.
If it does display correctly, then it would indicate possible corrupted ProcessWire files when you copied them to the server. If so, then you need to delete all of those files (not overwrite them) and re-upload them. Preferably using ftp.

Again, welcome to the forum.

Could be an ownership problem.

This erros in the log file is this one. 'PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home4/bawundco/public_html/install.php on line 1'

You probably are using php 5.3 or lower. Change hosts or ask the current one to upgrade.

I just tried to check, and the response headers indicate that the server is running nginx. Did you change it? It doesn't show a PHP header though.

Thank you very much. That was the problem.
