  1.)So I unzipped in a folder locally and then uploaded everything to a clean directory.

  Should I have just uploaded the zip and then unzipped it on my web server in that directory?

  2.)Also the install.php gives me two fields to fill out. Not sure what goes here. it talks about,
  “# Note the password given to you.” Never got that. I just put my user name and pass in but nothing happened.

  If anybody could help I would appreciate it. I am obviously new. Thank you

  Your questions belong at WordPress.org.
