 * Hallo,
    I followed the instructions (“famous 5-minute install”). I saved my “
   wp-config-sample.php” file and it was saved as “wp-config-sample.php.txt”. I 
   have downloaded PHP 5 (it is in the list of my programs) and mySQL. But when 
   I want to open a .php-file my computer doesn´t know how.

 * You need to install it in a server, not in your own computer. 😛

 * Thank you for your help. I uploaded “wp-config.php.” as a .txt-file on my server(
   [http://members.chello.at/martin.drucker/wp-config.php](http://members.chello.at/martin.drucker/wp-config.php)..
   txt ). But when I followed point 5 of the installation guide and opened “/wp-
   admin/install.php” with my browser by clicking on it, a faillure message appeared.

 * Now I managed to upload the proper php-file: [http://members.chello.at/martin.drucker/wp-config.php](http://members.chello.at/martin.drucker/wp-config.php)
   But I still can´t open “/wp-admin/install.php” .

 * All your files seem to be there. This link [http://members.chello.at/martin.drucker/wordpress/wp-admin/](http://members.chello.at/martin.drucker/wordpress/wp-admin/)
   
   would lead me to believe that your server is not running php.

 * wp-config.php.txt? Should the .txt be there?
