however when I tried to access it with the following URL, it failed:


http://wp-companyweb01/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php

nothing comes up ?

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

hmm could be a permissions issue. Did you get any error message at all when accessing the page via a web browser?

If you didn't (i.e. you get a completely white screen), there's a good chance the issue may be php related.

also, i notice that you installed mySQL on there, did you create a database for wordpress along with a SQLuser to access it?

maybe try this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install
