Need help with installation prob

Hello

Can you help with these two installation probs?

FIRST PROBLEM
The WP2.8.4 ReadMe file states:
5. Open /wp-admin/install.php in your browser. This should setup the tables needed for your blog. If there is an error, double check your wp-config.php file, and try again. If it fails again, please go to the support forums with as much data as you can gather.

– I think there is an error, but I’m not sure (I’m not a coder, so I have no idea what the install.php text means).

The install.php text says as follows:
error) ) wp_die($wpdb->error->get_error_message()); display_header(); // Fill in the data we gathered $weblog_title = isset($_POST[‘weblog_title’]) ? stripslashes($_POST[‘weblog_title’]) : ”; $admin_email = isset($_POST[‘admin_email’]) ? stripslashes($_POST[‘admin_email’]) : ”; $public = isset($_POST[‘blog_public’]) ? (int) $_POST[‘blog_public’] : 0; // check e-mail address $error = false; if (empty($admin_email)) { // TODO: poka-yoke display_setup_form( __(‘you must provide an e-mail address.’) ); $error = true; } else if (!is_email($admin_email)) { // TODO: poka-yoke display_setup_form( __(‘that isn’t a valid e-mail address. E-mail addresses look like: username@example.com’) ); $error = true; } if ( $error === false ) { $wpdb->show_errors(); $result = wp_install($weblog_title, ‘admin’, $admin_email, $public); extract($result, EXTR_SKIP); ?>

SECOND PROBLEM
The WP2.8.4 ReadMe file states:
7. The install script should then send you to the login page. Sign in with the username admin and the password generated during the installation. You can then click on ‘Profile’ to change the password.

– It doesn’t send me to any login page.

NOTES

Please bear in mind I’ve no idea what is going on here since I’m not a coder. (I don’t even understand why I have to load WP onto my webhost).

I’m using Filezilla for the FTP.

Many thanks – in fact I’m pathetically grateful if you’re able to give me a hand!
