    I am trying to install the blog stuff on my server and got everything uploaded as far as I can tell, and followed the installation instructions. When I opened install.php, I got the following errors:

    Warning: main(/home/prairier/www/www/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/prairier/www/www/blog/wp-settings.php on line 72

    Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/prairier/www/www/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/prairier/www/www/blog/wp-settings.php on line 72

    What can I do to fix it???
    Thanks,
    Kat

    Hmm. Why do you have twice the /www/ directory in that path?
    Where did you create your “blog” directory? Are you sure it is in the right place?

    That is the way my server set it up…since I also have someone with a subdomain…my domain is *www* and anything in it’s directory has 2 *www’s* in the path…

    Sorry, I meant to include this to show you what I meant…
    In file manager this appears at the top of the page…

    FILE MANAGER
    Location: /www/www

    That is just how they designate my main directory….

    Well, if the path is OK, then check that you have the wp-db.php file and its size is not zero!
    (To be on the safe side I’d upload a new, fresh copy of the wp-includes folder)

    File size is fine….new copy and old are identical…
    size= 10351 Sep 07 20:14 wp-db.php

    I believe you though the error message in your OP shows the script cannot find the wp-db.php file at the expected location. Which means something is wrong.

    Permissions? Is it readable by the web server’s process?

    I am trying, my friend, we just have to figure out what exactly is wrong.
    What HandySolo and I suggested for checking out are the most common causes for errors like yours. I’d say in 90% of the cases they helped.
    If you want I can take a look at it if you eamil me with your access info.
