Strange. I came on here to post about the exact same error.
It doesn't even say incorrect password, just reloads the login screen.

When I uploaded just the two files needed for the upgrade my site became inaccessible. I had to copy the original files back to get it working again. Is there anything I missed or has anyone else had this problem ?

I installed 2.6.3 as directed and get the following errors on the install page. Can anyone help me with this?
Warning: require(/home/provbsco/public_html/wp-includes/compat.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/provbsco/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 203

@marylutz: does that file exist on your server: /public_html/wp-includes/compat.php?
Try ftp'ing it over again. Also, check that the permissions on it are 0644.

Not as far as I can tell. I looked for it on line 203 in wp-settings and it doesn't show that specific wording.
(I'm sort of new at all of this, just so you know)
Try ftp'ing it over again.
I've ftp'd it over like 4 times...nada
Also, check that the permissions on it are 0644.
Where and how do i do this?
>Delete cookies from your browser.
>Delete browser cache.
>Close browser then re-open and try again.I will do these things after I figure out the permissions thing.
Is this a fresh install for you or an upgrade?
Well, it started out as an upgrade, but when all was going wrong, I deleted all my wordpress files on my computer and on my server, and just uploaded the new version to my server.

I will check this out too!
Thanks for trying to help me out!

a little more info for you...This
require (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/compat.php');
is on line 203 in wp-setting.php on my server. -

What I've done so far with no luck:
All my perms were set to 0644 except for the main wordpress directory so I changed that one.
I cleared my cookies and my browser cache, closed and reopened my browser.
My guess is it's that file on line 203. I know WHERE to change it, but not the exact coding.

Hey Mary,
No, don't change any code!
Make sure that the file that you're ftp'ing over is that missing compat.php file.
It needs to be put into the right folder.
It needs to be in: /public_html/wp-includes/so you'll end up with: /public_html/wp-includes/compat.php
Ok?

What main wordpress directory? /public_html/ ?
No, don't change the permissions on that particular directory! Your host probably has that protected anyway...

Anyway, I have to get off of this PC.
Seeing as this is a new install, every time you attempt to install and have to start over, there is usually cleanup involved. Hopefully your install was aborted before any of that. It probably was.
Things to search for if I'm wrong: deleting wp-config.php, deleting .htaccess on install, dropping tables etc.
Although really, if you deleted all the files on the server, then ftp'd the new ones over, and dumped your old wp-config.php file where it's supposed to be you should be good to go -if you didn't delete all the tables in the database...and if you did, you'd either have a head start in the install or a little cleanup to do...
I have to go.
Cheers!

I didn't change any code. I put the one perm back to the way it was and tried moving just the compat.php file over to the public_html/wp-includes file. When I look at my file manager on my server in the public_html/ file, wp-includes does not appear in there anywhere.

Hey Mary, last post, promise...
Your file manager on your server, have you refreshed the view? Is it showing you the latest view?
If it's not in there, you may be ftp'ing all those files some place else! Your ftp program is not complaining? It's happily putting those files where if not where you think it is?
As far as the error you have, it appears to be all about this one file.
Sometimes, because of 'group' issues, you have to delete files from your hosting account's file manager, and ftp the new files. Sometimes, the host server won't let the ftp overwrite files and it will fail silently! That's why it's often best to manually delete the destination files before pushing new ones, especially since (unless you look beforehand) you never know when the developers stop using an old file and delete it from the zip -but it's still on your host...Worse comes to worse, risk group issues and upload that damn file manually in your server filemanager...
G'Night!

My last post too...promise...cuz I figured it out!!! The wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes files need to be in the public_html directory DIRECTLY...they were in the public_html/wordpress/ file. But it works! Yeah! Thanks for your help!
