Which format did you upload your files through in your ftp client?
Make sure you upload them all in binary only. You may have to delete teh whole directory and re-upload your content.

I have never really used WS-FTP. But from a screenshot I found I beleive it to be under settings on your top toolbar. If not see if that tool bar has something that has a button that says Binary on it. Or even try right clicking on your local filemanager whoiscart folder in your ftp client and see if there is an upload in Binary option.

I use http://www.smartftp.com/ . Its got the Binary button right at the top. Its got a 10101 above it which means binary. Maybe see if yours has a similar name to it?
Anyhow, I found smart-ftp to be the easiest for me to use yet.

Please edit out your domain for security reasons (in the post above). And it also looks as if you have to chmod some files.

you are great helpful gay .
I dont want to be asking you all the time and take your time.
i open page
http://www.united4host.com/whoiscart\INSTALL.php
can you try it and tell me how i fix the points they mention here like chown/chgrp oto 777

You have to chmod through your ftp client. A way of doing it is browsing to the file in your FTP and rightclick to see chmod then give persmisions of 777.
Or if you use putty for shell etc...you can do it with command line
chmod 777 filename
I got a question for you,
Did you create a MySQL database, user, then asign user to database?

Yes, the next step in your install will need the username and pass for your database name and change your hostname to localhost

and should i create databse and user first or no need?

The script (whoiscart) is connecting to the server it is on, so it is localhost to the script. So you must use localhost.
You must also first create user then database then asign user to database. then proceed to finish install.

Glad I could help. Its not so bad when you do these things all day. Its just four things to do when installing things like that.
Create user, database, and asign user to db
chmod your files after uploading
install
And lastly, DELETE your install file when finished :)
Have fun with your whoiscart
