 * I’m a total newbie to this as the developer who was supposed to help has gone
   awol. I installed WordPress using the one touch installation that my host has
   offered via Fantastico. I can see the files in the folder but when I try to use
   the [http://mydomainname.com/wp-admin](http://mydomainname.com/wp-admin), I get
   an error message telling me that the page cannot be displayed. What am I not 
   doing?

 * well mydomainname.com is an example … what is your actual domain?
 * Are you sure your files are installed in the root directory of your domain?
 * What do you get when you simply go to [http://mydomainname.com/](http://mydomainname.com/)

   MIME type.

 * Hi Guys, I worked this out. The problem was not with Fantastico but with my host.
   Thanks for the suggestions.
