 *     ```
       Notice: Use of undefined constant ABSPATH - assumed 'ABSPATH' in /www/aokhost.com/c/o/c/coconutty/htdocs/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php on line 3

 * You don’t click an install file – what do you really mean?
    You access the installer
   at /wp-admin/install.php The above error shows you don’t have all files uploaded.
