 * I am a real beginner trying to run WP in my purchased domain (www.inbound.cl)
   and with a reliable hosting provider (www.planetahosting.cl) which offers Apache,
   MySQL and PHP.
 * The problem is that I cannot run the [http://inbound.cl/wp-admin/install.php](http://inbound.cl/wp-admin/install.php).
   I receive a page with a HTTP 404 (page not found).
 * I modified the wp-config file with the DB information taken by C-panel (SQL section),
   where I created my access:
 * DB name = inboundc_wp
    DB user = inboundc_pablo
 * I have copied all the wp files using NICO FTP and I have checked the integrity
   of all the files comparing to the ones in my local notebook.
 * I have seen some simmilar cases in this forum and I have tried some tips, but
   nothing.
 * I will appreciate any help. Thanks.

 * What folder did you upload the files to? I would think that it’s not the root
   folder as nothing is showing up there, but I can’t troubleshoot as I can’t get
   a directory listing.
 * One thing that you should do is remove the default `index.htm` file that’s there
   now. Even if WordPress was installed in that folder the main homepage won’t show
   thanks to that file over-riding the `index.php` file used by WordPress.

 * Hey, thanks for that tip. I found that index.htm that loaded a page saying “site
   in construction”. When I deleted that file, the installation run perfectly!
 * Thanks again.
