The upload may have gone wrong. In that case you should start over.
Do you have an index.php file in your blog directory?
If it was a clean install, did you run the wp-admin/install.php script – calling it from your browser?
If you had an earlier version of WP, did you follow the upgrade instructions?
I have the same problem.
I already started over but it doesn’t fix the problem.
I have a the WordPress index.php file in the blog directory.
I tried to run the wp-admin/install.php from IE, I still get the HTML 404 error.
I had no earlier version installed before.
The data in wp-config.php seems to be fine.
I am hosted by GoDaddy.com, if it helps…
Oh and I don’t know if it’s normal, but in my FTP client, I cannot change the permissions.

well tried to install again and now getting the error that has already been installed, but when I tried to figure out how to clear the db it makes no sense to me.
Still hoping for help before I give it up
Yes, same here.
Installed Ver 2.0 on my localhost. Running Apache 2.0.54 and PHP 5.0.5 on Win 2K.
I get:
You don’t have permission to access /wordpress/wp-admin/ on this server.
I came to WordPress because I couldn’t get bBlog to install either (Don’t know why).
As usual, I will probably have to code a blog module myself to ensure getting one that works.
Same problem here.
My wordpress-installation is hosted on a machine which I have full access to. I downloaded WP 2.0 two times, re-installed 4 times… and now I have run out of ideas and started to read PHP-code.
Vorgon, if you want to delete your tables AND you use MySQL, the try downloading a tool called MySQL Administrator (from http://www.mysql.com). Download the latest version. Install the tool and start it. Log in to you database and click on the meny entry called Catalogs. Choose the “database” where you installed WP, click on that name. On the right you see a number of tables with names starting with “wp_”. Drop all of those tables…
@emi: Sounds like you are not allowed to change permissions.
Ask GoDaddy about that problem!
@all: For the local installs I have no clue for the moment..
Same problem here,and I have been reinstalling WP for over 10 times,problem remains
I got it!
I got the problem because in my new host index.php was not allowed to be a vaild extension as index files,then I set it in my host.My WP now works well:)

Sorry atintel, and all.
I forgot the problem that the web server must be set to accept index.php as a valid index page. By default you normally have index.htm, index.html, etc as defaults for a valid index page. On Apache you or your service provider has to add index.php. this is done in the httpd.conf file.
