 * I have tried not to bother anyone with this, but I’ve spent hours. I’ve uploaded
   2.8.1 to a file in the root
    wwwroot conservativefirefighters.com
 * but each time I try to browse to [http://conservativefirefighters.com/wp-admin/install.php](http://conservativefirefighters.com/wp-admin/install.php)
   
   I get a HTTP Error 404.3 – File or directory not found: MIME map policy prevents
   this request. Internet Information Services (IIS)
 * Should I upload all the WP files into the wwwroot folder?

 * the file wp-config.php is there. I tried changing the data to reflect my database
   info. I have another blog, and used it as a guide (with different data of course
   for other database). Everything looks right, but not able to finish initial install?

 * In order to run, wordpress requires certain things:
 * PHP and a MySQL database.
 * Im not asking about a file — Im asking if PHP is available on that server.
 * Ask your host, “is my web site configured to run PHP properly?”
 * —
 * edit: is the other blog a wordpress blog?

 * I’m able to go to the PhpMyAdmin page. Does that mean it is configured?

 * tech support is closed. yes…the other blog is a wordpress blog. I installed the
   other, and I though I did everything correct on this install?

 * if the other blog is a wordpress blog then yap, your current host meets those
   2 requirements. that doesnt necessarily mean that your host doesnt need to look
   into that error though.

 * I’m using Dotster.
    I’m missing some simple step somewhere? Should the wordpress
   files be in the wwwroot or the wwwroot conservativefirefighters.com directory?
 * I want WP to be visible when one types [http://www.conservativefirefighters.com](http://www.conservativefirefighters.com)
   without additional browsing.

 * based on that post — I would say it goes inside the directory that matches the
   domain name.
