 * I am a php newbie, and am having trouble running the install.php. My server is
   a plesk style host, and the php option is ‘CGI Application’, though I have also
   tried with it set to ‘Apache module’. When I ftp://www.smaltiaustralia.com/httpdocs/
   wpexample/wp-admin/install.php in my Chrome browser, it displays the script, 
   as expected. However when I try to run the script by entering the URL [http://www.smaltiaustralia.com/httpdocs/wpexample/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.smaltiaustralia.com/httpdocs/wpexample/wp-admin/install.php),
   it gives me a ‘404 not found’.
    What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance David

 * Try using [http://www.smaltiaustralia.com/wpexample/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.smaltiaustralia.com/wpexample/wp-admin/install.php)
   instead, this should work.
