 * i just did the steps but when i go to the /wp-admin/install.php it says:
 * “It doesn’t look like you’ve installed WP yet. Try running install.php.”
 * my folders are 755 and i changed wp-config.php to 755 and the rest of the files
   are 644 (in case that matters).

 * Could you please check wp_users table in your database? Is there already a user
   in it? And is the database even filled?

 * i just restored my backed up stuff and did an upgrade rather than a new install.
   had no problems. wonder what the problem with installing it might have been.
