One common problem is being able to remove an application installed by the Dreamhost One-Click installer. After uninstalling the application your domain may look like this:

To host http://example.com/ using Dreamhost configure your domain to be "Fully Hosted".

Upload files to $HOME/example.com/ using FTP.

After your files have finished uploading, visit the site and see if anything changed.

If you continue to see the above error message you must open a support ticket. There is some special configuration that has to be changed.

The above error was resolved within 2 hours after contacting support.
