 * Ok, I’ve done my install and get the “It doesn’t look like you’ve installed WP
   yet. Try running install.php.” message.
    I then click on “First Step” and the
   URL changes to install.php?step=1 but the page doesn’t change.
 * Any ideas? The URL is [http://80.175.43.16/80.175.43.16/twcevents.co.uk/wp-admin/install.php?step=1](http://80.175.43.16/80.175.43.16/twcevents.co.uk/wp-admin/install.php?step=1)

 * That URL is *screwed up*. You have the IP address not once, but twice, and *then*
   you have the URL on top if that. Your URL says your URL is located within your
   IP, which is located within your IP.
 * IP address will represent the URL. “80.175.43.16” should be interchangeable with“
   twcevents.co.uk”. The URL shouldn’t be a subfolder of the IP. Does that make 
   sense?
 * However, when I tried just putting in the IP or the URL, and then going to wp-
   admin, I get a file not found.
 * So *where* did you install the files? That URL makes no sense at all.

 * Yeah I thought it looked wrong. What I did was to go into my hosting control 
   panel (plesk) and click on the preview button which gave me the above URL.
    I
   just spoke to the tech support guys and they said because the site preview runs
   a script it won’t let me do this. He got me to go into C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\
   etc and add the IP address in the hosts file and now I have my page.
 * Thanks for the reply, sorry for the dumb post 🙁
 * Cheers,
