You should be using the "SVN" version, which is also called 4.3.0. Download and upgrade/configuration instructions are in a help topic whose title begins with "Repost: Download …". Be sure to follow the instructions.
Since you're just starting out, you can erase the existing installation completely.
You might also want to have a look at Webtrees. Webtrees was developed from PhpGedView and is a better choice for new users. It's being actively supported, developed and improved. PhpGedView has been more-or-less stagnant for over 2 years now.

When I click to configure the program I get this message:
_______________________________________________
Not Found
The requested URL /gedview/install.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any ideas?
