 * I’ve uploaded all the WordPress files to my site’s index folder via FileZilla
   yet when I open up the page in the browser (www.havingpromise.com/wp-admin/install.
   php) I get the following error:
 * Error 404: Not Found!
    The server cannot find the document corresponding to the
   URL you typed in.
 * Any help solving this will be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * You may still have the place holder check if you have index.html if so delete
   or rename the file

 * It appears you have resolved this issue. When I visit the site, it displays an
   actual site, not a place holder from the host. Is this issue resolved?
