    i downloaded latest wordpress from this site.

    i uploaded the contents to my site

    but first of all there are no files like in my other wordpress files in the main directory, for starters i can count config.php file

    i installed wordpress many times before and i am surprised what is happening. befre all i did was to download wordpress and then upload to my site and then it was guiding me thru installation

    so after uploading i get the follownig error mesasges

    Warning: require(/home/content/21/6601321/html/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/21/6601321/html/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/index.php on line 17

    Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/content/21/6601321/html/xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php’) in /home/content/21/6601321/html/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/index.php on line 17

    Try downloading WordPress again and delete then replace your copies of everything except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget to delete the original files before replacing them.

    Well, the wp-config.php file is unique to your installation. If you lost yours, you’ll find a wp-config-sample.php file in the fresh WordPress download which you can use to re-create yours to the best of your knowledge.

    When you’re done, re-save it as wp-config.php .
