I was just following the installation instructions. It was only when I got to running the install script that I realised that PHP still hadn’t been activated by my ISP. I guessed it would be unlikely that somebody would know what I had an install script and where it was and thus run it before the morning (you can’t see the directory contents on my web server).

What I didn’t realise was that the index.php would point everybody going to my url straight at the admin setup script! If you’re simply following the installation instructions you have to pray that nobody goes to your url before you do.

Of course next time I’ll be smarter and won’t follow the installation instructions quite so closely…

Yeah I guessed that basically that was what I’d have to do.

I still find it strange that the default is to have an index.php page that points anybody coming past at the admin account creation.

Thanks for your help.
