   Try re-uploading all files & folders from a fresh download of WordPress.

    Thank your for all the suggestions. I've been having the same exact error after installing WordPress with Softaclous. I've checked that the server is indeed running the right versions of PHP and MySQL (versions 4.4.9 and 5.1.62-cll, respectively) for WP 3.4.1. What can be the problem here? Any insight will be much appreciated.

    check your php vesrion with creating a php file which contains
    

    <?php
    phpinfo();
    ?>

    try to install wordpress manually without script help. so you may get idea about error repleted to requirement.

    You need PHP 5.2.4 to run WordPress

    @esmi
    You are correct. I meant to write PHP 5.4.9.

    It seems that my web host has the option of running the page with either PHP 4 or PHP 5. It was originally set to "system default." I have no idea of which version that is referring to. But set the server to render pages in PHP 5 and fixed the problem. Thank you for the responses and help.
