 * I followed the wordpress.org instructions, the last bit to install wordpress 
   is not working…
 * I have put http:/example.com/wp-admin/install.php but it is saying:
 * HTTP 404 – File not found
 * Have I done something wrong in the process????

 * Try creating an “index.php” file inside your public_html folder. Every time you
   make a new installation, WordPress needs to add information to an index.php file,
   so if you don’t have one, you’ll need to add it.

 * How old is your hosting account? Sometimes the “index.php” file does not get 
   created when a new hosting account is set up, therefore needs to be added manually.
 * If you do not have an “index.php” file inside your public_html folder (via cPanel
   or FTP), then you will need to create one.
