 * I’ve installed wordpress before manually and it worked fine. But I am getting
   a message I have never seen before when I go to my domain to set up the database:
 * > Warning: require(..some gibberish../my_host/my_subfolder/wp-includes/post.php):
   > failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ../my_host/my_subfolder/
   > wp-settings.php on line 127 Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required‘..
   > some gibberish../my_host/my_subfolder/wp-includes/post.php’ (include_path=’.:/
   > usr/local/lib/php-5.3.13/lib/php’) in ..some gibberish../my_host/my_subfolder/
   > wp-settings.php on line 127
 * I downloaded 4.0 directly from the wordpress.org. Uploaded it to my server/subfolder.
   Pointed the domain there. Changed the wp-config to have my database information.
   And I’ve done this whole process 3 times, and I cannot figure out whats going
   on.

 * yep… they were all there. The ‘some gibberish’ part I had never seen before, 
   and didn’t know what it was referring to, I left it out for security sake. But
   the files where in my subfolder on my server, so I’m not sure why they weren’t
   working.

 * I’m an idiot.
 * I double checked and it one of the files wasn’t there. I could have sworn it 
   was there before I made this post.
 * Even though FileZilla didn’t give me an error, and said all files were transferred,
   some got lost.
 * Sorry to waste your time! Thanks for the help!
