I have installed & re-installed wordpress a number times now. I am not trying to customize the php files or create my own themes - just trying to get the default or classic theme to work...
When I login to the admin pages there is no 'styling' - just basic text - I thought that this was how it should be. However when I go to view site no themes are displayed - again just text.
I have viewed the page source and all appears to be normal. When I save the page source and stylesheet to my computer's hard drive and amend the link in the HTML to reference the stylesheet I get a webpage that is 'styled'
I believe that I have set the permissions correctly. Any help would be gratefully received.

Happy to supply further info if requested
Thanks

You need to move the wordpress directory out of the cgi-bin directory 
Instead of using http://ccgi.mouseblack.force9.co.uk/cgi-bin/wordpress/ it will need to be http://ccgi.mouseblack.force9.co.uk/wordpress/

It's amazing what can be cured so simply.
The cause of this is that the Wordpress code works perfectly fine from the cgi-bin, however images and style sheets are not cgi scripts, and thus the server just dumps a huge "what the..." when trying to execute them.
As Wordpress is PHP, it works outside of the cgi-bin perfectly fine, were CSS & images work perfectly fine too.
