   Hi all... Does anyone know why I'm getting the following error? This is the second time I've installed on this domain. The first time it worked well but I was tinkering to make it compatible with another problem and screwed it up so I had to reinstall.

   I reinstalled the database on the server. One thing that may be important is that I can't get a file to disappear in my Local Files from the original install (blog>wp-content>themes) and when I uninstalled, Dreamweaver told me I was (I think) basically orphaning some links.

   OK that's all background, here's the meat:

   Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: Unable to access ../wordpress/wp-config.php in /var/www/vhosts/lastcity.org/httpdocs/wp-admin/install.php on line 9

   Warning: require_once(../wordpress/wp-config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/lastcity.org/httpdocs/wp-admin/install.php on line 9

   Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../wordpress/wp-config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/vhosts/lastcity.org/httpdocs/wp-admin/install.php on line 9

   The location is:
   http://lastcity.org/wp-admin/install.php

   One thing that puzzles me the most is: var/www/vhosts

   What the heck path is that???

   Ok I've since learned what the path ver/www/vhosts is. I've also re-uploaded the files to the server. Same error. I'm thinking there must be some files or links hiding out giving me trouble.

   I see 2 things:

   One, the paths shown indicate that you are installing at the root of your site:

   http://lastcity.org/ <-- there

   but its looking for your wp-config.php here:

   http://lastcity.org/wordpress/wp-config.php <--

   thats not right.

   Since you dont even have a wordpress directory:

   http://lastcity.org/wordpress/

   So, there is NO wp-config.php here:

   http://lastcity.org/wordpress/wp-config.php

   Or here (where it should be looking):

   http://lastcity.org/wp-config.php

   You need to have one at one of those locations depending on where you are installing.
