More guides and articles can be found here.

1. If you have problem getting to the second page of the install script, then you most likely have register_globals turned off.

2. Create a new text file called .htaccess with a text editor (like WordPad or Notes).

3. Add the following line in .htaccess:

   php_flag register_globals on

4. Upload the file to your web hosting account. Make sure the name of the file is .htaccess and not .htaccess.txt, because that wont work at all.
