Did you upload the wordpress files to the root or to a sub directory?
That will determine whether you should go to http://www.examplesite.com/wp-admin/install.php or http://www.examplesite.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php.
What do you see when you go to wp-admin/install.php?
I set the Docuemnt root to /local/user/www and WordPress is in /usr/local/www/data/wordpresss
So I interupt the instructions that I need to use the http://server/data/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
But no Joy..
Also tried http://server/data/wordpress/index.php with no luck as well.
?????
I hate Keyboards sometimes..
I set the document root to /usr/local/www/ and ……..
Will look at the link.. Did some rewite on the Apache control file stripping out a bunch of stuff,
extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
an now I have the install.php coming up in both IE 8.0 and Firefox as text install of running a script. Does this make any sense ??

I had a similar problem when trying to install wordpress. I was installing it on a hosting server. I discovered that the name
servers where pointing to the hosting company management name servers, but should have been pointing to their hosting name servers. They changed it and it took 48 hours for the DNS to populate. Try contacting your hosting company.
Slennon,
Nope, it’s not a DNS issue. I have an SSH tunnel into the machine that I am working on and the install.php is being returned as text instead of executing as an install script now. So I guess I am making progress but not sure 🙂
