 * Hi, I’m trying to install wordpress on my domaain. My cpanel does not have automatic
   installer, so I had to do it manually.
 * So far, I have pointed my domain with my host’s nameservers, I know it works 
   because the website I had uploaded to the host worked fine.
 * Now I deleted the domain file in my root. I set up the domain afresh, created
   mySQL database, uploaded wordpress to the new public_html, unzipped and moved
   a set higher initially. But the domain wouldn’t point to a wordpress set up page.
   I then moved a set higher further to the domain’s main folder out of public_html.
   Still same error.
 * How can I work this out?

 * Please check this article

 * Basically download latest wordpress copy from wordpress.org. Unzip it and install
   on your website under public_html folder so that all your files are under public_html
   folder. Create a mysql database with username and password. Just type in your
   domain later and WordPress Installer will help you setup WordPress on your domain
