   This is my first attempt to use WordPress and for some unkown reason I am having a problem?
   Following is the info contained in my wp-cofig.php file [Note I changed the entries for security reasons]

   (1) define('DB_NAME', '1abc_def'); define('DB_USER', 'fjp800'); define('DB_PASSWORD', '8383'); define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); define('DB_COLLATE', ''); define('AUTH_KEY', 'AUTH_KEY', 'vt-L\"nbbY&FbgSh\\M!.Sxmg,9_g/6[$>EUZa}nfW1]hU k8Ql\"bbb#$=(AzPM'); define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'T]bb[)JdHcB&^m9RR:pauwr&bGV+%WV!h\'qF Eeq\"da[mJP^sy$RWzxY6|e&_3l'); define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'lD^b9bbuJEF3`T,

   Any mistakes above OR anything missing?

   (2) Do I open /wp-admin/install.php in my browser by typing in the following: http://abc.com/ /wp-admin/install.php ?

   (3) I uploaded the files to a folder on my server. Do I also need to upload an index.html file?

   1) several errors - should look like:
   

   <?php
   // ** MySQL settings ** //
   define('DB_NAME', 'database_name');    // The name of the database
   define('DB_USER', 'username');     // Your MySQL username
   define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // ...and password
   define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');    // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
   define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
   define('DB_COLLATE', '');
   
   // Change each KEY to a different unique phrase.  You won't have to remember the phrases later,
   // so make them long and complicated.  You can visit http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/
   // to get keys generated for you, or just make something up.  Each key should have a different phrase.
   define('AUTH_KEY', 'nice'); // Change this to a unique phrase.
   define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'and'); // Change this to a unique phrase.
   define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'simple'); // Change this to a unique phrase.
   
   // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
   $table_prefix  = 'wp_';   // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
   
   // Change this to localize WordPress.  A corresponding MO file for the
   // chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages.
   // For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
   // to enable German language support.
   define ('WPLANG', '');
   
   /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
   
   if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
   	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
   require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
   ?>

   You must use the same format as wp-config-sample.php
   In your secure keys, you can not have single or double quotes

   2) yes

   3) no, the wordpress index.php in the root folder runs the blog
