 * My site is [http://kevin108.com](http://kevin108.com) WordPress is installed 
   to the root.
 * Search shows this is a common problem that is not usually resolved.
 * Have any of you had to play the CHMOD game to get install.php to run?
 * Any other ideas?

 * does your host meet the requirements for running wordpress? Is PHP available?
 * what do you see when you create, upload, and browse to a phpinfo file?
 * `<?php phpinfo(); ?>`
 * you are hosted on a 1&1 windows acct — make sure that server supports wordpress.

 * A 404 on the phpinfo file as well. I’m guessing the 1and1.com noobs are done 
   setting my account up yet even though it’s been about 30 hours.

 * WOW, what an unreasonably difficult process. Anyway, I wasn’t having any problems
   with WordPress or their software. All of the problems were with 1and1 and the
   hosting package change. Everything is up and working now from what I can tell.
   Thank you for all the help.
 * If you can afford better than 1and1, please go elsewhere!
