Install looking in CGI-BIN, but WP isn't in there (1 post)

    I'm hoping someone can help:

    I installed Movabletype, hated it and uninstalled it (I just removed the files from my server). I then downloaded and installed WordPress. However, when I get to the step in the installation that says to go to, "www.example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php", I receive this error:

    Not Found

    The requested URL /cgi-bin/php/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    The WP directory IS NOT located in my CGI-BIN, it is located in www directory on the server.

    I have to assume that this error is stemming from the orginal MovableType install, but cannot figure out how to fix it. I've looked for a .htaccess file that might be doing some forwarding or something like that, but have not found one.

    Conversely, I can create a directory in the same place as my WP directory, upload a page into the new directory, and view it. I only receive this error when trying to access the /wp-admin/install.php file.

    Thank you for any and all help on this topic.

    Jon
