   Hi,
   I am a newbie to the world of servers and scripts. I am trying to install WordPress but the install.php file does not get executed - the text is simply displayed in the browser. I have read posts on this problem and have downloaded Wampserver - when I start it I get no error messages.
   Can anyone help?
   Cheers,
   Lotte

   Sounds like PHP is not running on your server.

   Thanks Esmi. How do I check?

   the text is simply displayed in the browser

   That's a big clue. Try creating a file called phpinfo.php that just contains:

   <?php
   phpinfo();
   ?>

   and running it from your browser.
