    that’s what he written in the read me file .. — i have followed all the 
   instruction … when iome to step /wp-admin/install.php … he write that you have
   to open it in your prowser (note : there is a link in /wp-admin/install.php) 
   so .. i click on it .. it gives me a file called install.php to downlaod it ..
   and i did .. once i open it again … it gave me the same file to download .. even
   though i am 100 % sure from my database info.
 * thank you all !

 * You should not be changing or editing your wp-config.php file as part of an upgrade.
 * Please use FileZilla to upload your WordPress file to your host.
