    Hello

    I'm trying to install Wordpress in my host server without success. This is what i've done:
    1. I downloaded the ZIP
    2. I extracted the ZIP and opened the wp-config-sample.php
    and updated the data according to my MySQL host account.
    3. I saved the file as wp-config.php
    4. I uploaded the whole folder to the dirctory that i set for the blog.
    5. From the host server, i opened the install.php file from the wp-admin folder, with Firefox. The page was unclear:

    wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn't work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.", "WordPress › Error"); } require_once('../wp-config.php'); require_once('./includes/upgrade.php'); if (isset($_GET['step'])) $step = $_GET['step']; else $step = 0; header( 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8' ); ?> >

    '.__('Already Installed').'

    '.__('You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.').'
    '); switch($step) { case 0: case 1: // in case people are directly linking to this ?>

    If your seeing raw code like that then your host doesn't have php installed. Make sure you host has all the minimum requirements.
