You said:
I am trying to run the install.php file and I am getting this error message…..typing in the web browser (
hosting site/blog/wp-admin/install.php
its looking for your config here:
Failed opening required '../../wordpress/wp-config.php'
which is here:
hosting site/wordpress/config.php
so either you mistyped what you are actually using for the url (notice you did NOT include wordpress in your url), or you have done something wrong somewhere else.
What is the url to where you are trying to install this?

your config is where it belongs..
http://www.musicscissors.com/blog/wp-config.php
open up wp-admin/install.php
LOOK at line 8, does it say this:
require_once('../wp-config.php');
?????
and what is in your .htaccess ?

I tried this and it said…..
Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.
* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?
If I cant cannot to the database that probably means I cannot install the php?
it says this……
require_once('../../wordpress/wp-config.php');
thats the problem, change that to what I pasted in my earlier post:
require_once('../wp-config.php');

Im still getting an error message????
Warning: main(../wordpress/wp-config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/m/k/e/mkerby67/html/blog/wp-admin/install.php on line 8
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘../wordpress/wp-config.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/content/m/k/e/mkerby67/html/blog/wp-admin/install.php on line 8
you did NOT edit the file..its telling you that.
If you cant edit the file, delete it (wp-admin/install.php) OFF your server and upload a fresh one out of the zip.
Thats not what the standard file looks like it, so either you or someone else has previously changed it.
Edit it, or upload a fresh, correct copy.
Until you do one or the other, what you see isnt going to change
I have been getting the same problem. I have not done anything to change my set other than installed a plugin (real-wysiwyg.) I deactivated the plugin then deleted it. Earlier today the website has been opening fine. I tried uploading a “fresh” install.php file from the zip file. It did not make a difference. What could have possibly gone wrong.
This is the error message I get.
Warning: main(../wp-config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/baylands/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/install-helper.php on line 2
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘../wp-config.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/baylands/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/simpleflickr/phpFlickr/PEAR’) in /home/baylands/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/install-helper.php on line 2
I check my (install-helper.php) file it reads as the following.
<?php
require_once(‘../wp-config.php’);
$debug = 0;
Kathi
Not entirely clear what are you trying to do.
Just because of a faulty plugin you do NOT have to run (re-run?) the install.php.
I was just trying to do what was suggested above:
If you cant edit the file, delete it (wp-admin/install.php) OFF your server and upload a fresh one out of the zip.
I’m just getting the error message when I login. I don’t know what to do. The site was find this morning then this afternoon – bad!!
HMMMMMm
