   I am unable to complete the last step of the install.
   When I run this URL in the browser,it display page not found error.

   http://arvindtm.wordpress.com/wp-admin/install.php

   Don't know which page it is not able to find. Trying desperately since yesterday night.

   I must be missing something very very silly. Which is the first place to look at ?

   Any help ?

   Thanks
   Arvind

   I hope you're not really trying to install your own blog at that url.
   You already have a blog here:
   http://arvindtm.wordpress.com/
   A bit messed up.

   To install your own blog you must have a domain name - a hosting acct. with php/mysql.
   Refer to:

   for requirements

   You are right. I have a blog http://arvindtm.wordpress.com/
   But I have a domain name http://www.arvindtm.com and a hosting account with Go daddy.
   I want to host it here.
   So, what should I be doing next ?
   Do I have to delete the blog or something ?

   You have to do a fresh install at godaddy, then import your settings, posts, etc. to your new install from your old blog.

   Thanks Samboll. One last query.
   I had created < arvindtm.wordpress.com > free blog to startwith.
   I even redirected it to http://www.arvindtm.com by editing the name server at Godaddy.

   Today I have purchased hosting account with go daddy for the same domain name http://www.arvindtm.com

   Now before doing the reinstall at Godaddy,
   1. Do I have to remove the Nameservers I had configured above at Godaddy ?
   2. When am going to do reinstall at godaddy, do you expect any conflicts ?

   Thanks a lot.
