 * I go to the wordpress folder and it creates the wp-config.php file for me.
 * After that, I click “Run Install” and get this error message:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /home/hotkarao/
   public_html/drupal/wordpress/wp-includes/classes.php on line 421
 * What does this mean? I’m confused and have found NOTHING on the forums about 
   it 🙁

 * I went to the Download page and clicked on “Download WordPress 2.7”.
 * All I did was download WordPress and followed the instructions in the readme.
   html, under the section, “Installation: Famous 5-minute install”.
 * When I get to step 5, that’s where I get that error.

 * hello, i have a fatal error
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_remote_post()
   in /home/irfan/www/blog/wp-includes/cron.php on line 201
 * when i go to cron.php ,line 201
    here is what is has: wp_remote_post($cron_url,
   array(‘timeout’ => 0.01, ‘blocking’ => false));
 * i haven’t ever touched this file, i just upgraded to 2.7 tho, by replacing the
   folders wp-includes/wp-admin from the 2.7 wordpress zip directory.

 * Call to undefined function almost always means some file(s) didn’t get uploaded
