 * After I upload wordpress to my hosting, I access to wp-instal.php, but it shows
   me the php code. The version of the php on my hosting is 5.3.
    What do you think
   could be the problem?

 * Try renaming the .htaccess in the public_html and/or the .htaccess in the root
   of your install and see if it makes a difference. If that fixes it, you’ll need
   to go through your .htaccess to locate the problem, or you might be able to provide
   examples of the .htaccess code here and someone may be able to help you locate
   it.

 * PHP isn’t running. Ask your hosts about it.
