A few things might cause this.
- Server out of memory – unlikely for a new installation unless its on a very cheap & nasty host
- Files not all uploaded – reupload
- Files corrupted – use a decent ftp app such as filezilla to upload
- errors in editing the wp-config.php
Its probably most likely to be the last of these – its easy to introduce some white space where its not needed or delete a <?php a ?> or semicolon.
Compare your wp-config.php with a fresh wp-config-sample.php to check for any unintended differences.
thanks numeeja, have done stage 2 using fetch and checked the config. file and resent twice, which reads:

are you sure that is correct?
It would be unique to say the least
no I’m not sure at all, but I have asked my host (plus net) and they have said it was right….think I’ll ask again.
Right, i think i’m getting SOMEWHERE..
DB Host did need to be changed, but now when I go to http://ccgi.ngadenne.plus.com/blog/ an getting:
Execution of (blog/index.php) is not permitted for the following reason:
Script is not executable. Issue ‘chmod 755 filename’
You need to ensure the permissions are set correctly

Appreciate your time in helping me
I changed permissions for index and css files with no joy, so changed all permissions of all files to 777, but still no luck, now getting:
Execution of (blog/index.php) is not permitted for the following reason:
Script is group writable.
any further advice gratefully received!!
well.. thanks for the efforts. Seem to be going round in circles so have decided to just give up……the 5 min install has beaten me! shame.
thanks again.
I’m afraid I feel the same way ngadenne. I have sat on this thing for a solid 3 days . I host with webhostingpad , downloaded wordpress ,installed with fantastico and joomla …there is just NOTHING going on with my set up. I can’t access my admin panel..I wonder if there is one..and as for uploading and installing my plugins ..well what can I say ? I’ll spend the night on WordPress.org but I do believe I’m about to throw in the towel. yes what a shame.
ngadenne Are you still here? I’ve just upgraded WP I’m having similar type of problem and I’m on the same ISP – I recognised the server name!
I think because PN uses CGI for users active webpages (not sure what other ISPs use but PN was going to ditch CGI as outdated then changed their mind).
The PN CGI help page says files should have file permissions set to 740 and not to mess about with file or group ownership.
See http://www.plus.net/support/webspace/cgi_php/cgi_advanced_guide.shtml#3

i stuck I think at the 2nd step, and thinks that I’d made a mistake in editing somewhere!
Kindly help me in this regard..
I’ve entered the following details:
// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘a6961896_alpha’);
/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘a6961896_bravo’);
/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘*******’);
/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysql10.000webhost.com’);
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
