Cannot access the install.php file on browser

    Ok, so I am getting frustrated. I own my domian, sixby10tinykitchen.com. I have it hosted thru laughing squid. I have downloaded the wordpress files. Those wordpress files have been sent via FTP to the directory instructed by laughing squid, sixby10tinykitchen.com/web/content/wordpress. At this point, when I try to run the /wp-admin/install.php, it either takes me to a page that says the page cannot be found, or to the sixby10tinykitchen.wordpress.com address that has been deleted.
    Nameservers for the domain are pointed to the laughing squid servers.
    At this point, I cannot get thru the installation of WordPress, and so cannot begin editing my blog.

    Please help walk me through this!

    http://sixby10tinykitchen.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php works fine for me.

    Ok, so when I try to load up the install from sixby10tinykitchen.com/web/content/worpress/wp-admin/install.php, this is the error that I get:

    The requested URL /web/content/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server.

    And when I load it up from the root directory, sixby10tinykitchen.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php, this is the error that I get:

    You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.

    I’m thinking there is something very basic that I am missing. All of my files are at the /web/content/wordpress/wp-admin directory using my FTP, so isn’t that where I should point the browser to find them?

    Ok, now a new wrinkle. Accessed the login page for wordpress, so obviously something has been installed. However, my username & password do not seem to exist. Again, probably missing something really basic here, but I know I have a user name & login. When I ask it to send my my password, it says my email/username do not exists. Obviously I missed a step somewhere.

    One step forward, two steps back. I cleared my database tables, which allowed me to run the intstall. Now that it is installed, and asking for my password (that unique # generated just for lil ol me) and I want the system to send me a new one because I am awesome and didnt write it down, I am not getting the emails from the password request system.
