 * Hi all,
 * New to wordpress and website creation in general. Once I type in wp-admin/install.
   php I just get 404 page not found. Given that I’ve tried installing it about 
   five times from scratch following online tutorials I’m not sure where I’m going
   wrong.
 * Had a look round the forums, tried a few things but nothing has worked and am
   not familiar with the rest of the jargon.
 * If anyone has any thoughts it would be much appreciated.

 * You should contact your hosting provider and perhaps they might be able to assist
   you.

 * I’m with hostgator but not using fantastico to install if that helps out info
   wise.
 * Thanks Richard, I’ll try that, see if I get anywhere.
