 * So I have followed all the instructions, changed my config file in note pad, 
   uploaded the files to my host (Bluehost)and now I try to run the install, and
   it tells me the page is not found. I have checked my paths, they seem correct.
   I look in FTP and the install file is where I say it is… but nothing, tells me
   the page is not found.
 * The only thing that I can think of is, I just transfered my domain from Godaddy
   to Bluehost (1 hour ago). I am not sure if that has anything to do with why I
   can get to it… maybe because the domain hasn’t transfered over yet?
 * Not sure.
 * If I type my url in, I get the Bluehost cpanel screen. so I know bluehost has
   it, and Like I said, the files are on the bluehost server, but the path doesnt
   work.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * That certainly could be a problem. Usually the propagation of a domain move takes
   24-72 hrs around the world wide web 🙂

 * Thank you,
 * Just to confirm then, the url to get to the install page should be:
 * [http://www.example.com/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.example.com/wp-admin/install.php)
 * Once this is done, will it create an index.html page?
 * Thank you.

 * Yes, that’s the correct path.
 * There is no index.html file in WP. If you have one – delete it!
