well, it was installed, but the links must of been messed up?

I installed wordpress using the cpanel It said the install was successful. So I clicked on the link that the install gave me, and page not found, I also clicked on the admin link, and it was no where to be found also. I added the www to the link, and still not found. I have the right stuff that wordpress needs for this install. I created a directory for this install. It did not work. I uninstalled it. So do I try a subdomain? Or try to install again in a new directory? I looked all over the files, which were there to be sure that hopefully I did not have anything that may prevent the install before hand. I just don’t have a clue as to what went wrong. Any ideas?
