 * Hi there,
 * I’ve been trying to install WordPress following the 5 minute install procedure,
   however when I try and complete the installation by logging onto the webpage 
   it downloads a plain document. The URL is [http://www.weedshots.com/](http://www.weedshots.com/)
 * I have edited the config document as per the instructions, adding all the relevant
   database details where appropriate. I also followed the instructions to download
   WordPress, unzip and upload to root directory.
 * Can anyone help as i’m at a loss as to what i’m doing wrong.
 * Thanks
    James

 * What hosting company are you using? It looks like the wp files are not in the
   correct folder. Please check with your host and make sure the files were uploaded
   into the correct folder.
