When you uploaded all the files there is a folder in the "blogs" folder called "install"

When you have uploaded everything simply place the following URL in your browser and follow the prompts and instructions....
http://yoursite.com/install

Like I said, make sure you have uploaded all files before you run the install script

Thanks for the instruct. When I do that, then try to install, this is the message I keep getting: Please, do not access this page directly.

1. Is this a new installation or an upgrade?
2. What version of b2 are you installing?
3. This may help...

If you have FTP access to your site then open the folder "conf" and check the details in file called _basic_conf.php
1. Passwords, database name etc...

$db_config = array(
'user' => 'demouser', // your MySQL username
'password' => 'demopass', // ...and password
'name' => 'b2evolution', // the name of the database
'host' => 'localhost', // MySQL Server (typically 'localhost')
);

2. Base URL....

* @global string $baseurl
*/
$baseurl = 'http://localhost/b2evolution/blogs/';
// Use the following if you want to use the current domain:

Are your details in this file correct? If not correct them.

i am pretty sure, one of these paths are wrong.. chmoding 'all' of your root folders to 777 would do good possibly, if not it will help to find out what the problem is, so pls do so and return back with the results, if the issue mentioned above still exists

Please do not chmod your folders to 0777 that allows every man and his dog to write to any file/folder in your install.

Posting a link to your site will be far more helpful

For some reason I have to go to mydomain.com/path/install/index.php but I don't know why. Specifically, adding the "index.php" bit on the end.
