 * I successfully installed the latest version of WordPress manually, but when I
   went to login, I got this error:
 * Warning: require_once(ABSPATHwp-admin/includes/bookmark.php) [function.require-
   once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/msceobi1/public_html/
   bvmmedia.com/wp-admin/admin.php on line 10
 * Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘ABSPATHwp-
   admin/includes/bookmark.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’)
   in /home/msceobi1/public_html/bvmmedia.com/wp-admin/admin.php on line 10
 * Please tell me how to fix it. I need to get the site up and running.

 * Try re-uploading all files & folders from a **fresh** download of WordPress.

 * Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, though, it won’t help.
 * The install I posted about above was from a **FRESH** download of WordPress from
   the wordpress.org site. Since then, I tried re-uploading all files and folders
   repeatedly from a FRESH download, and keep running into the same error. So I 
   need another way to solve this than to continuously re-uploading the files and
   folders.

 * For whatever reason, when I did the wordpresss install wizard offered via my 
   server, it worked with no issues. I don’t know why the manual install wasn’t 
   working though. At least I have a canvas to play with now.

 * It might because you’ve not gave proper file/directory permissions for wp-include
   folder or might because of unsuccessful, incomplete upload of worpdress files
   to your web directory.

 * Thanks, ravimallya. I actually downloaded the files directly from WordPress.org
   when I uploaded it. When it didn’t work, I deleted all the files and uploaded
   it via the wizard in my server. When I used the wizard, it worked. No fatal errors.
