    http://www.mattressdiscountoutlet.com/wp-login.php - just 404's
    http://www.mattressdiscountoutlet.com/wp-admin - just 404's - should redirect to login

    are you sure the files are in the root folder? like html or htdocs or public_html

    Well there is no public_html, it's a group of folders because there's different domains being hosted there. Should I make a public_html and change all the files to there?

    no - without knowing your set up...just ask your host exactly where they need to go

    Could it be possible for me to email you my ftp details maybe you can see something I'm not? If that's ok with you?
