 * Hi there, I am wanting to upgrade our blog to the 2.7 version. I’ve copied the
   files and uploaded to my server hoping to just replace the current files on there,
   however during the ftp it said unable to copy all the files. But then when I 
   look on the server directory there appears to be everything there as well as 
   my old folder which is marked blog. Should I delete this folder marked ‘blog’
   and rename the folder which is sitting there with wordpress-2.7.1 to blog and
   that will fix my problem? Maybe a little too easy I suspect. Would appreciate
   any feedback, thanks.

 * Never mind my last post I decided to deleted the whole lot and start afresh however
   I have run into problems installing it comes up with a 404 error. I renamed the
   file to ‘blog’ and it is in a sub directory so I thought I could open it g8consultancy.
   com/blog/wpadmin-install.php, can anyone suggest where I’ve gone wrong?
