 * I installed everything on the parent domain and its not loading (/wp-admin/install.
   php)
    I know all the files are up there and the config file is correct with the
   databases.

 * Are you sure you uploaded the files to the correct folder on your domain( eg.
   public_html)?

 * look if your host is a free one, there should be a folder where you can upload
   wordpress. you cant upload it on the root folder, it doesnt work like that because
   its your hostin provider policy so there should pe a folder specially for your
   script website or wordpress.in my case i had a free hosting and there was a folder“
   htdocs” where i can upload only there, and run from there the install.php

 * Before I uploaded all the files onto my host, I added 8 or 9 plugins and also
   chose a header which had my own picture on it.
 * However, when I access the site, it’s not what I have uploaded.
    The site is 
   an addon domain and I created the file “public_html/toy-review-blogspot” I used
   Ipswich FTP and there were 28 files uploded which was sent me in a zip file. 
   I deleted the file “index.html” but not until I had uploaderd it to the public_html/
   toy-review-blogspot folder. Should I have deleted it before uploading? Please
   help me because I am going nuts over this project, I have been trying to get 
   it running for almost two weeks now and I am almost ready to quit.

 * WordPress has far more than 28 files. There should also have been sub-folders.
   You need to upload **all** of the WordPress files & folders (preserving the folder
   structure) before you can install it.

 * Hi Esmi,
    There were 28 files which included three folders…WP-Admin WP-Content
   WP-Includes and a Readme Document. Before I submitted the details to WordPress
   I added Plugins and Links and About us. Then I received the email from wordpress
   with the Zip file attached saying to upload all the files [after extracting] 
   to my hosting Co, [Just Host]. I added the site to my existing site as an addon
   to the root directory. I created a file..public_html/toy-review-blogspot, uploaded
   all the files via FTP and then deleted the Index.html file. Two days later I 
   get an email saying my site is up and running but when I accessed the site, it
   was just the standard WP site with the usual theme page and no plugins or widgets.
   Something is not right, but I dont know what> Any help would be appreciated…Dai

 * You need to login to your WordPress install and activate your chosen theme & 
   plugins.
