I have SQL and PHPMYadmin. I used FTP to get the files into the root directory. I have the config.php prepared. I have my database created and ready. WP was able to connect to my database.

Cathy, how are you installing WP? You say that execulink just put MySQL on your web space. You may have to create a database for WP unless you are using something like Fantastico to install it.

I have talked with execulink and have now SQL and phpMyAdmin. I have uploaded the files and I have following instructions through to the message Ok Sparky you are ready to install. But the install.php will not work. I downloaded a new one and uploaded it to the site and still no go. I am wondering if it is an execulink issue. Should be last step and I am really frustrated.

Cathy, I’d be glad to take a look at your setup and give you an opinion (no charge), but I need some specific information from you to do that. Will you email me, please?

I have had my domain and site for a while. I would like to use WordPress but I can’t even begin to install it. I do not have the systems you talked about. I am using execulink.com as my provider. Can I even still use WordPress and if so how do I start?
