 * I am using DigitalSpace.net to host my site, [http://kyleteachman.com](http://kyleteachman.com),
   and I want to set up WordPress on it, but can’t seem to get it to work. They 
   have a WordPress app, but it says it’s only WP 2.0/2.1 and even still I can’t
   figure out how to EDIT anything… Anyone have any advice? I really wish WordPress.
   org still had the free install thing…
 * Thanks for any and all help…

 * I already tried that site… It says ‘due to recently high demand, they are not
   performing installations’. Does anyone know how to help me install it or could
   walk me through the process?

 * It’s not that difficult, just [read](http://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress)
   a little bit and go ahead. What goes wrong exactly when you try?

 * Well it doesn’t matter, I signed up for HostICan and it installed fine… I just
   can’t login to wordpress because I still have a random theme from my old webhost…
   Frustration…

 * I can’t install either – and I consider myself a semi-veteran having done this
   over a dozen times – some things have changed. I followed the quick install instructions
   as usual. I copied over all files, excpt those in the content folder, making 
   sure not to overwrite my themes or plugins.
 * The site comes up fine: (markgould.net), but I can’t get into the admin area.
   I’ve searched the net and found at least one other person who had no trouble 
   with 2.5 but has problems with 2.6. When I try to log into admin I get ;
 * > ( Fatal error: Cannot redeclare validate_file() (previously declared in /home/
   > content/a/r/t/artb0yyy/html/wp-includes/functions.php:2238) in /home/content/
   > a/r/t/artb0yyy/html/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 59 )
 * As mentioned the install4free site is down.
 * I may have to go back to 2.5 if I can. If there is some help with this it would
   be greatly appreciated.
 * thanks,
    Mark

 * I got it to work, after a few hours, my site went up, it was just because my 
   old site was still in effect for a day.
 * Also, a guy from HostICan called my cell phone without any warning or without
   me ever asking for help and was wondering if everything was going okay and I 
   was able to ask him for help. It was totally random, but so helpful. They have
   great support over at their sight so I would suggest EVERYONE check it out if
   you are looking for a host, or to change hosts!
