   ok, the upgrade from 1.2 to 1.5 went off without a hitch. then i logged out and went to logging again....
   now i recive this error message when trying to view my URL-

   Warning: main(/home/indiebox/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/indiebox/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 39

   Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/home/indiebox/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/indiebox/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 39

   i checked the checked 'wp-db.php', found out that's all redirect for the sql db. went onto checking line 39 of 'wp-settings.php'

   39:
   define('WPINC', 'wp-includes');
   require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/wp-db.php');

   which i take as meaning: 'http://indiebox.com/wp-includes/wp-db.php'
   and that's the correct directory.

   i've also tried to CHMODing to see if that was the problem... no help there...

   i'm not an expert (by no means)- am i missing something?

   the files seem in order, but i have know idea what's going on. anyone got any suggestions?

   i think i'll try restoring the original 1.2 config then updating again... i must have missed something.

   Before you do that.

   Try deleting the wp-includes directory and redownloading it. May not do anything, but it might save you a spot of effort.

   Or even deleting everything (except wp-config.php, etc) and redownloading.

   I just updated myself and I have a ton of error messages when logged into the admin and I get this message after each entry on the page:
   Warning: main(/home/rambling/public_html/wp-comments.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rambling/public_html/index.php on line 42

   Warning: main(/home/rambling/public_html/wp-comments.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rambling/public_html/index.php on line 42

   Warning: main(): Failed opening '/home/rambling/public_html/wp-comments.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/rambling/public_html/index.php on line 42

   I am getting a little nervous now!

   Is there a way to save what is in the dbase and upload everything after a clean install?

   What does your BASE (as opposed to your theme's) index.php look like?

   It should be short: post it all here.

    not sure what you mean... what the tables look like?

    No... maybe you have a different setup than what I assumed.

    Did you follow this guide? http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/upgrade/upgrade_en.html

    If so, your new index.php should only be a few lines long. The real work is done by the index.php in your theme's directory.

    No I did not follow this... I just followed the readme file in the download. That sucks because I probably screwed up everything. I may just go back an restore my old files! Sheesh.
    I have some reading to do I guess. Thanks for that link.

    I've already tried...
    [edit] i tried upgrade.php after doing this and it seems to be functional- except for the sql linking (i think) the homepage is blank, and during install i got a bunch of sql errors... now, how can i fix that?

    My issue was resolved as well. I needed to turn off the plugins and didn't do that. I also was trying to use my original index.php file and not transfer files into the "theme" folder. All in working order now!
