 * Hard to say from my vantage point, but it appears as if there are NO files on
   your web site. /public_html/ is the “root” of the web site. In other words, /
   public_html/test.txt would be displayed when you type [http://beallara.com/test.txt](http://beallara.com/test.txt)
   into a browser.
 * To test my theory, create a test.txt with “You are here” in it and put it in /
   public_html/ then see if you can see it with a browser. That will tell you if
   your web site is working properly. Then, check for /public_html/wp-admin/ actually
   being there, too, which would tell you if WordPress has been stored in the right
   place.

 * Thank you so much, the install worked! I’m new to web design and appreciate your
   help.
