 * I’ve attempted three times today to install WordPress on my new site following
   the instructions. I’ve deleted two installs (both with errors), and on the third
   install have this new error:
 * Warning: require(/home/cookboo/public_html/wp-includes/query.php) [function.require]:
   failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/cookboo/public_html/
   wp-settings.php on line 109
 * Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/cookboo/
   public_html/wp-includes/query.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/
   php’) in /home/cookboo/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 109
 * Is there are simple way to fix this?

 * I have a similar issue but I’ve only run the upgrade once …
