hi,

no there is no admin.php you mist first set everything up do the folowwing

upzipped the files in a subdirectory of your www root directory browse to the "include" subdirectory and open up "config.inc.php" and edit the variables to match your mysql setup (or postgresql) save the file then run

http://www.yourdomain.com/installdir/install.php

you will get a "microsoft style" wizard interface that will guide you throug the script installation during setup the install script will create an "administration account" if you are on a windows system and you're using the editor editplus do not forget to delete config.icn.php.bak these files can be vieuwed by anyone and contains mysql passwords it is just a backup from the original but delete it for security reasons when you are done remove install.php from your server leaving it there is a security risk.
that's it
