 * HI Guys,
    Sorry to bother with basic stuff. I uploaded wordpress vie ftp to my
   web hosting space and now I would like to progress with following instruction“
   Simply launch your browser and go to the address of the folder you put the files
   into, followed by /wordpress/wp-admin/install.php” I double checked the page 
   address an it is correct I tried to copy WP to other folders but It once I try
   to launch file install.phpit gives me message “ HTTP 404 – Not found
 * Requested file you are looking for was not found. It might have been removed 
   or is temporary unavailable.
    “ ANy thought? Thx in adv Mihal
