   Ok so i edit, my samp config, save as renamed it ect....

   Uploaded my files FTP to my Domain, i attempt to run the install, and after 50 million times of deleting, trying something different, reuploading ect, i still get this flipping crap...

   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."); require_once('../wp-config.php'); require_once('./upgrade-functions.php'); $schema = ( isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on' ) ? 'https://' : 'http://'; $guessurl = str_replace('/wp-admin/install.php?step=2', '', $schema . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) ); if (isset($_GET['step'])) $step = $_GET['step']; else $step = 0; header( 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8' ); ?>

   And about the entire page is full of curropt looking HTML and Java...

   WTF

   Help MEEE :(

   a) have you confirmed your host actually has PHP?

   b) When you run it, are you browsing to HTTP://yourdomain.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php with a web browser?

   1. I am certain the host runs PHP, i was refered to this host for running WP, as for "B" i am unsure i'll check now.

   Tried it with both protocols, FTP and HTTP, FTP gives me the said above issues, and HTTP gives me a page can not be found.

   You don't want to "run" it via FTP. You want HTTP.

   So.. can you share where you think you installed the WP software?

   Depending on your host, the database host may NOT be localhost. Double check it....

    Use a browser. use http. and hit that install.php

    Right now, it appears you may have permissions issues as I sure don't see a /wordpress folder at your site. Or it isn't where you thought it is.

    Once you have wp-config.php set properly, click this link: http://www.opengot.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php (with your web browser)

    All right sparky! You've made it through this part of the installation. WordPress can now communicate with your database. If you are ready, time now to run the install!

    Resolved....

    Thanks for everyone who helped.

    Thanks for marking as "resolved" - what exactly was it, so the next guy finding this with search will have a clue?

    Best to you, have fun!

    Basicly it was a few things

    1. My FTP is set up with several different directories, i am not sure if this is standards to all webhostings.

    My Domain host - Godaddy.com
    My Web Host - Geekshosting.com

    Once i moved the WP directory from my main directory, to my Public HTTP ( HTML as it is listed ) Directory i was able to access it then however i had issues as to i couldn't get to have WP communicate with the database, which was fixxed due to Geek's Panel interfacing, you must create the admin membership followed be assigning it to a Database, Geek's allows for several databases to be created, however you must allocate which member belongs to which database.

    One i did this... everthing ran smooth

    Thanks

    - Lots of love... OOORAH
