Hey
I'm a newcommer to php scripts and to wordpress. I was using blogger.com to blog, and that's lousy, so I stumbled across wordpress and realized it was a quite excellent replacement.
However, when trying to install it, I failed miserably.
I'm with Surpasshosting.com, and I tried installing it in the root folder of my FTP. I'm on a shared server.
I did the 5-minutes installation as instructed on the readme file. I followed it to the word, and got stuck on step 5:
Open /wp-admin/install.php in your browser. This should setup the tables needed for your blog. If there is an error, double check your wp-config.php file, and try again. If it fails again, please go to the support forums with as much data as you can gather.
I got the following error message:
Warning: main(./upgrade-functions.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/slightly/public_html/wordpress2/wp-admin/install.php on line 9
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './upgrade-functions.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/slightly/public_html/wordpress2/wp-admin/install.php on line 9
Any idea what it means, what I've done wrong and how could I solve it?
I tried asking so many people in so many places for help, so far to no avail. I will really appreciate anyone who can shed some light on this.
