Having troubles using Wordpress on a Sub-domain!

    I'm using bluehost, and through cpanel I created a sub-domain. I cleared out all the files in the sub-domain folder, and then used simple scripts to install wordpress 2.5.1. The installation goes smoothly.

    Heres the problem, when I view the site, it looks like it has no css properties and looks all "ghetto". Furthermore, when I try to access the wp-admin page it just redirects me to the homepage of the wordpress site.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

    delete the files in the sub-domain folder (as in uninstall wordpress) and then install it using fantastico, i used fantastico to install wordpress on my 12 of sites subdomains, and they work perfectely
