 * I’m a complete novice trying to upload wordpress onto a godaddy domain name. 
   Followed all the instructions and uploaded everything via an FTP client to the
   root of the domain.
 * Then tried to log on to the wp-admin/install.php page and I’m getting an 404 
   error message. Seen previous posts and tried to find a default.html or index.
   html file to delete. No success.
 * Godaddy don’t seem to have much clue. So I’ve deleted everything and tried to
   reload wordpress. Now its saying it can’t load two files… Help!!!
