 * Did you mean to install WordPress in a subdirectory? If so read through this 
   to verify correct installation:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory](http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory)
 * If you meant to install WordPress in the root directory follow the steps here:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_Directories_On_Your_Existing_Server](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_Directories_On_Your_Existing_Server)
 * The issue is probably due to index.php and .htaccess not being copied corectly(
   or at all).
