This is a Site I maintain hosted on GoDaddy. All HTML seen by the outside world is stored in the /public_html directory. Therefore /public_html is considered the root directory of my server.
This site runs on WordPress 3.9.1. All that was done, was that GoDady’s custom installer package unzipped the WordPress download zip to the /public_html directory. Doing this Manually is easily accomplished by unzipping the WordPress download to a Folder and then uploading the contents of that Folder(but not the folder) to your web root. I suspect you unzipped and then uploaded the containing folder, which would lead to www.example.com/wordpress if wordpress was the folder you uploaded.
To fix this, work backwards…
