if it doesn’t exist then you didn’t get all of the files uploaded

I must be missing something. I did a GoDaddy automated installation. The install.php is gone. I downloaded it from here and moved it over. When I broswed to it, it said WP was already installed.
Okay, fine. So I go to the log-in page: wp-login.php. I logged in with the user/password I created. Now it redirects me to /wp-admin/default.php.
Which doesn’t exist.
Thanks for your help, by the way.

Okay, I’ve reinstalled and got a little further.
On my first prompt to log-in (at the end of the installation) I do so. I log in with ‘admin’ and my admin password. It then sends me to:
/wp-admin/default.php
Which doesn’t exist! Where should it be sending me after logging in?
Thanks.
it should send you to
http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/index.php
assuming you installed in the root
try removing the default.php from the browser bar and insert index.php instead

Thanks. If I log in and then replace default.php with index.php as you suggest, I get in to the admin area.
However, now if I click the “Visit Site” link at the top of the admin page, it takes me to /blog/default.php (doesn’t exist). If I type /blog/index.php it just redirects me back to /blog/default.php.
I’m hosting on GoDaddy if that matters.
use one of these methods to insure both of your url’s are correct
