# Can’t Install WordPress

 * [16 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-install-wordpress-3-2/)
 * I get the following error message when I try to run the [http://lanzilligroup.com/naturalhealers/wp-admin/install.php](http://lanzilligroup.com/naturalhealers/wp-admin/install.php)
   function.
 * “Warning: require_wp_db(/home/content/l/e/a/leapa/html/lanzilligroup/naturalhealers/
   wp-includes/wp-db.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /
   home/content/l/e/a/leapa/html/lanzilligroup/naturalhealers/wp-includes/functions.
   php on line 2772”
 * This is the code I have on line 2772 in the functions.php file that the error
   message above is referencing. It’s standard I believe.
 * function require_wp_db() {
    global $wpdb; if ( file_exists( WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/
   db.php’ ) ) require_once( WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/db.php’ ); else require_once( ABSPATH.
   WPINC . ‘/wp-db.php’ ); }
 * I also tried calling my hosting service to “fix my MySQL pointer” as another 
   WordPress blog suggested but it was to no avail. They had no idea what I was 
   talking about and insist everything is working fine on their end.
 * lastly, I’m not sure if this is relevant but I do have another blog on this domain
   that is working fine. It’s URL is [http://lanzilligroup.com/brendasrecipes](http://lanzilligroup.com/brendasrecipes)
 * Assistance is MUCH appreciated.

 * the error message is actually telling you this file is being called but is missing
   `
   wp-includes/wp-db.php` this may be indicative of others as well. get that file
   uploaded and run the install again and see what happens
