    i cannot for the life of me install wordpress onto my new xtreemhost.com site. i have not only read through WP codex docs but also googled so many types of info. i have nowhere else to turn right now and i'm super frustrated. if you can, please help!

    i have uploaded all files to: http://ftp.xtreemhost.com
    USER: xth_2582038
    PW: XXXXXX
    /htdocs/wordpress
    also tried just /htdocs
    ALL I GET IS 404 ERROR EVERYTIME

    when editing wp-config i have used the information i created tonight:

    define('DB_NAME', 'xth_2582038_wordpress'); // The name of the database
    ........also tried define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); //
    define('DB_USER', 'xth_2582038'); // Your MySQL username
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'XXXXXX'); // ...and password
    define('DB_HOST', 'sql203.xtreemhost.com'); // 99% chance you won't need

    ******************* are these values correct for my file?

    I then tried to connect to my site using a remote ftp, (cyberduck) with the values
    SERVER: http://ftp.xtreemhost.com
    USER: xth_2582038
    PW: XXXXXX

    ********* i am able to connect to this, but is this where the mysql files must be stored?? cannot connect directly to the address sql203.xtreemhost.com

    once files are installed i should be able to connect to the file http://www.premises.xtreemhost.com/htdocs/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php ?

    AARRGH!

    sorry to be a n00b to those of you more experienced. bear with me.
