 * I’m running into a 404 error.
 * After uploading the .zip archive and the installer.php file to my host, I get
   a 404 error when I try to go to /installer.php in my browser and says the file
   doesn’t exist. Permission is set to 777.
 * So I created a test.html file in the same directory and am able to view that 
   just fine.
 * Is it a php configuration conflict? Or could I just be missing something simple?
 * I’ve used your plugin many times before with ease and love it!
    Thanks for you
   help!

 * I don’t know which hosting server you are using,
    maybe it different compare 
   with Godaddy, but I think it has same problem as Godaddy too. Please try my MANUAL
   INSTALL method, it might work:

 * I’m using NameCheap Hosting.
    My problem is that I can’t navigate to the installer.
   php file. When I type that in the browser, it just kicks back a 404 error.
 * So databases and all shouldn’t come into play.
    As far as I can tell, databases,
   users, and usernames are never being called. 404 is on the installer itself, 
   not anything to do with the installer running and failing.

 * Try and add a file called test.php and see if comes up… If not then you will 
   need to check with your host and have them add .php a supported mime type..
