  • I think you need to navigate to a different place, I’ve just installed to but I went to the following…

    yoursitename.com/wordpress/

    Try that, it should work.

    nothing, anything else?

    What is your sites web address?

    Oh I know why now, what is the folder called with all your files from WordPress in?

    So say you have all your files in the root folder of your site, go to;

    “www.yoursitesname.com” and then it should work, or if it is in a sub folder like;
    “www.yoursitesname.com/blog” then go there and it should work.

    If that’s where you uploaded your files, you’d go to mysite.netau.net/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php

    Try downloading WordPress again and delete then replace your copies of everything except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget to delete the original files before replacing them.

    You may need to manually repair the database.

    Access your WordPress database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel), check all of the tables, and choose “Repair tables” from the pull-down menu.
