 * Attempting to install, I get the following error message:
 * _Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp\_install() in /home/a6587871/public\
   _html/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php on line 215
 * I’ve verified that my wpconfig is correct, and have also tried re-uploading the
   wordpress files several times using Filezilla (As per recommendation on this 
   thread: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-install-wp-fatal-error-call-to-undefined-function-wp_install?replies=5](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-install-wp-fatal-error-call-to-undefined-function-wp_install?replies=5))
 * Still no luck after re-uploading and retrying the installation several times.
   I am hosting on 000host and am installing manually (Not Fantastico)
 * The code causing the crash is:
 * _ if ( $error === false ) {
    $wpdb->show\_errors(); $result = wp\_install($weblog\
   _title, $user\_name, $admin\_email, $public, ”, $admin\_password); extract( $
   result, EXTR\_SKIP ); ?>
 * in the **install.php** file.
 * Any ideas?

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