 * Hm, I seem to have fixed it!
    It seems that I changed chmod to 775, then back
   to 755 and now everything is working…
 * I wonder if the failed upgrade attempt changed some file permissions…?
 * Also, I completely removed the htaccess file that I had been working on.
 * Oh well. One to remember. Thanks to you guys for all your help and advice, the
   Using Permalinks advice was invaluable.
 * Cheers!

 * My webhost suggested that it may be a problem with the htaccess file. However,
   I know very little about these, and I can’t seem to find any in the wordpress
   file despite having show all files enabled.
 * How is the htaccess file supposed to be set up for WordPress? I have tried a 
   few solutions, from using a blank one on the root to using code from various 
   forums. None of this seemed to work…

 * Hi, to begin with, I tried copying up the files from my local computer. I made
   a point of downloading them beforehand. When that didn’t work, I tried deleting
   everything on the server and trying a fresh install.
 * Thankfully, it was only a test site. So losing anything on there was not a problem.
   But now, when I go to install.php, it throws up exactly the same screen.
 * Oh, and sorry – the link I supplied to my website was wrong. It should be [http://ccgi.lumbnet.plus.com/bm/](http://ccgi.lumbnet.plus.com/bm/)

 * Hi, thanks for the quick response.
 * No dice on that, I’m afraid. Same error…
