 * Hi!
 * When I try to launch the install.php in my browser at [http://www.pageproofs.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.pageproofs.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php)
   all I get is a blank screen. I am using Aplus.net which has PHP 4.3.11. I was
   getting a 404 error until I moved the blog folder into my html folder instead
   of putting it at the root. Was this a mistake?
 * My config settings are:
    // ** MySQL settings ** // define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘kate’);//
   The name of the database define(‘DB_USER’, ‘kate’); // Your MySQL username define(‘
   DB_PASSWORD’, ‘*****’); // …and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99%
   chance you won’t need to change this value

 * Into the html folder is the correct place.
 * Check all the files have uploaded correctly, and that none of them have a filesize
   of zero. What ftp program are you using ?
 * And the db_name looks wrong ….. do you have cpanel / plesk / vdeck ?

 * I checked the files and they are all greater than 0. I am using cuteFTP.
 * I have phpMyAdmin and we are given only one database. Mine is named kate. Am 
   I not giving the complete name?

 * Odd. …. even the blog index isn’t playing right.
    Did cuteftp definitely upload
   the files as ASCII, not binary ?

 * CuteFTP said “Opening ASCII mode data connection” each file it uploaded…
