 * Hi Everyone,
 * I have a completely empty directory that I have copied the contents of the zip
   file. The web address is [http://www.andrewared.com](http://www.andrewared.com)
   so the installation directory is [http://www.andrewared.com/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.andrewared.com/wp-admin/install.php)
   but I cannot get to it. Can someone help me?
 * Just to let you all know I have a wordpress blog at [http://www.potenchial.com/blog](http://www.potenchial.com/blog)
   and that seems to work. They are both on the same database so I uses the same
   settings in the wp-config file.
 * Thanks.
    Dru
