I have tried not to bother anyone with this, but I've spent hours. I've uploaded 2.8.1 to a file in the root
wwwroot
conservativefirefighters.com
but each time I try to browse to http://conservativefirefighters.com/wp-admin/install.php
I get a HTTP Error 404.3 - File or directory not found: MIME map policy prevents this request.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
Should I upload all the WP files into the wwwroot folder?
does that web server have php installed??

the file wp-config.php is there. I tried changing the data to reflect my database info. I have another blog, and used it as a guide (with different data of course for other database). Everything looks right, but not able to finish initial install?
In order to run, wordpress requires certain things:
PHP and a MySQL database.
Im not asking about a file -- Im asking if PHP is available on that server.
Ask your host, "is my web site configured to run PHP properly?"
--
edit: is the other blog a wordpress blog?

OK. Thanks.

I'm able to go to the PhpMyAdmin page. Does that mean it is configured?

tech support is closed. yes...the other blog is a wordpress blog. I installed the other, and I though I did everything correct on this install?
if the other blog is a wordpress blog then yap, your current host meets those 2 requirements. that doesnt necessarily mean that your host doesnt need to look into that error though.

I'm using Dotster.
I'm missing some simple step somewhere? Should the wordpress files be in the
wwwroot
or the
wwwroot
conservativefirefighters.com directory?
I want WP to be visible when one types http://www.conservativefirefighters.com without additional browsing.

Thanks very much. I'll show this as resolved and work on it.
based on that post -- I would say it goes inside the directory that matches the domain name.
