# /blog/wp-admin/install.php was not found

 * I have just downloaded the newest version, 2.7.1, zipped on my laptop and ftped
   to my host server, followed all instructions to the tee and it doesn’t want to
   install.
 * When I type:
    [http://www.freeyourpotential.com.au/blog/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.freeyourpotential.com.au/blog/wp-admin/install.php)
 * I get:
    ————————————————— Not Found
 * The requested URL /blog/wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server.
 * Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument
   to handle the request.
    Apache/2.2.6 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.6 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_auth_passthrough/
   2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 mod_perl/2.0.3 Perl/v5.8.8 Server at [http://www.freeyourpotential.com.au](http://www.freeyourpotential.com.au)
   Port 80 —————————————————
 * The permission of all files is 744, the permission of the blog folder is 755.
 * I even added these lines in the wp-config.php file:
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘[http://www.freeyourpotential.com.au/blog&#8217](http://www.freeyourpotential.com.au/blog&#8217););
   define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘[http://www.freeyourpotential.com.au/blog&#8217](http://www.freeyourpotential.com.au/blog&#8217););
 * Nothing goes. I’m completely clueless now.
 * The only I can think of is that I had a wordpress.com account on the same URL,
   and I decided to install it directly on my server. I can’t see how that could
   affect it though. Just trying to stretch my mind.
 * Please help!
 * Thanks!

 * I just found what the problem was, something in my host server account. The files
   I was copying to www folder were meant to all be mirrored to public_html folder
   but somehow the duplication was broken.
 * thanks anyway!
