unzipped ok, uploaded ok, can't complete install

I have checked all the tutorials and FAQs and have entered http://yoursite.com/coppermine/install.php in the address box but I keep getting page cannot be found error 404

http://horse-leap.com/horselea/cpg1.4.5/install.php

Have you checked the permissions on the files?  ... although usually if that's the problem, you get a "not permitted to view this page" error.

Are you sure you understand your webserver URL?  For example, there isn't any username after the domain?  Check to see if you can see a test page in the folder above coppermine, i.e yoursite.com/test.html to make sure you understand the URL path.

permissions changed to 777 as per instructions.
Have tried http://horse-leap.com/cpg1.4.5/install.php but still the same message.

Usually you should avoid periods in your folder names, but I don't think that's the problem.

Where did you upload your files?

By the way, if you are installing things now, you should install the current version 1.4.6.

Using WS-FTP as in the tutorial I transferred the files to my webpage, I am sorry I am not very literate, I just followed the tutorial, there was /horselea in the box on the right side of the screen where the files were being transferred to.After the transfer there was folder cpg.1.4.5 and another folder horse-leap.com underneath it.

Ok.  I think you put the folder in the wrong place.  From what you say, it sounds like your webhost has a folder "horselea" separate from a folder "horse-leap.com".  The first is probably just for logs and other such things that you don't see on your website.  The second one "horse-leap.com" is probably where you put all the files you want on your website. 

You can check to make sure by looking for the files that are currently visible on your main site http://horse-leap.com/ (like the About page and so on).

If this assessment is correct, you need to move the cpg1.4.5 folder to the horse-leap.com folder which should be possible in WS_FTP.  I would also rename the cpg1.4.5 to something like "gallery" so then your URL would be http://horse-leap.com/gallery/.

And once again, I would recommend installing the current version 1.4.6 instead.  In this case, you can just delete the current cpg1.4.5 and "start again" by uploading the 1.4.6 files to the correct folder and go from there.

Up date.

have moved forward 1 step and been able to open the installation page, have inputted the database info as required but am getting the following message:

mySQL Error: CREATE command denied to user: 'horsele_owner@win8.hosting365.ie' for table 'cpg146_sessions' on query ' CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS cpg146_sessions ( session_id varchar(40) NOT NULL default '', user_id int(11) default '0', time int(11) default NULL, remember int(1) default '0', PRIMARY KEY (session_id) ) TYPE=MyISAM COMMENT='Used to store sessions''


Any ideas?

Make sure that your mysql user has the needed permissions:

The MySQL user needs permissions to perform CREATE, ALTER, SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE data from the database. Most users have these permissions when webhosted. If you don't have them, you will not be able to use this or any other pre-made scripts at all. If you are uncertain about your permissions, please check with your webhost. Most hosting services can probably tell you whether coppermine can or cannot be run off of their servers.
