 * I’m installing wordpress but when I’m trying to launch the install.php, I simply
   cannot find it. It’s nowhere to be found in the wp-admin folder or in the wordpress
   folder at all. What should I do?

 * I do have a database and all, that’s not the problem. But I think the .zip was
   damaged, I downloaded it again and I got it now, I hope…
