 * Hi, I’m a pretty complete noob at creating websites, but I’ve been trying to 
   follow the 5-minute install instructions carefully. I have a domain, hosted by
   Laughing Squid, and I’ve been using FileZilla for FTP. I’ve gotten through all
   the Installation steps up to step 5, running the Install Script. When I do that
   I get either a “404 Not Found” or a “Safari Can’t find the file” error message.
   I’ve updated the DNS to the laughing squid defaults with my domain registrar.
   I can’t figure out what the problem could possibly be.
 * Please help! I’ve been stumped for a week now. 🙁
 * I’m using a Mac, if that makes any sort of difference.

 * Those errors suggest that a file has not been uploaded.
    I would try reuploading
   the /wp-admin folder (set to Overwrite all when it first says a “This file exists
   on the server, what to do?’)
 * Is this your site?
    [http://www.liawolff.com](http://www.liawolff.com) When WP
   is installed do rename the index.html to indexOLD.html and then WP’s index.php
   will run correctly.

    If yes go to cPanel >> file manager >> click on
   hidden files >> then select go >> you’ll find a file .htaccess in your write 
   the following lines in it.

   is my site. Still having difficulties. I’m not sure that I DO have access to 
   cPanel. All I have is my hosting service’s control panel right now.
