Well, so far I've upgraded my 1&1 account to their business package and downloaded Wordpress from the web. I've set up a database at 1&1 through "MySQL Administration", , set up a wp-config.php with the info from MySQL Administration and downloaded a trial version of Ipswitch ws_ftp .
I've actually succeded in uploading the Wordpress files into my 1&1 webspace! I've then located wp-admin-install.php, and hoped I was only a few minutes away from finishing the set-up.
Trouble is , I can't figure out what to do next. When I open the wp-admin-install.php file with wordpad I get a lot of discouraging stuff which begins:
php
define('WP_INSTALLING', true);
if (!file_exists('../wp-config.php'))
die("There doesn't seem to be a
wp-config.php
file.So clearly I've not set up the wp-config-php file correctly, or it's not being found (I have uploaded it).
Offers of help, and advice, greatly received.

Many thanks for your message Martin. Cafe society at its best!
However all I get is
error 403: Forbidden!
The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated.
Aha. I'm getting closer , now from

I get
error 404: File not found
The document you requested is not found.
I'm getting closer... I suspect I've not uploaded it to the correct place
SUCCESS ..
Thanks for the hint Martin, I owe you a coffee...
Happy New Year Chris!
