 * I would suggest that your friend look at setting a server up – something way 
   beyond what we can offer here.

 * well, he did put everything on the server, but once he run the domainname.com/
   wp-admin/install.php he gets 404 message.
    this is what he wrote at the wp-config
 * <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** // define(‘reuven_blog’, ‘wordpress’); // The 
   name of the database define(‘wordpress’, ‘username’); // Your MySQL username 
   define(‘*******’, ‘password’); // …and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);//
   99% chance you won’t need to change this value
 * thanks

 * Sorry for being pain in the ass.
    I am just not familiar with this process, and
   I am sitting here to help a friend, and got to go soon. In his control panel 
   there is no “mysql”, only “Microsoft SQL Server 2000”, so I added a database 
   and created a user. But I couldn’t find a place to add permissions or something
   like appears in the guide for installing.
 * Is there something I should do that I missed? I can give here the password and
   everything to someone who can help.

 * He don’t have MySQL or PHP..?
    I’d suggest getting a refund and move to a host
   that have 🙂
