    Hi. Ok I'm a little out of my league here. I'm trying to install a php script. My hosting is with hostgator.

    I populated my database and it was successful. What do I do next to complete the installation?

    I apologize if I've left any details out, this is my first time trying to install a script.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi thanks for your help. I did that, and made sure my database info was correct, and I'm getting an Index of/ page. Not sure what the problem is.

    It all depends on the script you're trying to install.

    is there an install directory or an install.php?
