 * Hello, I’ve got a site hosted on Godaddy and I’m getting the following error 
   when trying to access the config file.
 * Warning: main(/home/content/c/r/e/creationspeaks/html/Photoblog/wp-settings.php):
   failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/c/r/e/creationspeaks/
   html/Photoblog/wp-config.php on line 20
 * Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘/home/content/c/r/e/creationspeaks/
   html/Photoblog/wp-settings.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/

 * Check and see if wp-settings.php is there. And make sure the permissions are 
   set so everyone can “read” it.
 * And why are you trying to access the config file through a browser? just curious
