# Incorrect install scripts

 * I downloaded the WordPress ZIP file and unzipped it to my local WAMP www directory,
   edited the wp-config.php file, then ran the install from [http://localhost/wordpress](http://localhost/wordpress)
 * > the first fatal error I received was because the index.php script had an incorrect
   path in it:
    require_once(‘./admin.php’); …should be: require_once(‘wp-admin/
   admin.php’);
 * > the next fatal error was this:
    “Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_cache_init()
   in C:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-includes\load.php on line 407”
 * …not sure how to get around this one, any advice would be appreciated!

 * Unfortunately I don’t have WAMP experience so I can’t help much in that regard,
   but does this document help? [http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#WAMP](http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#WAMP)

 * > edited the wp-config.php file
 * Why? Just click the “Create a Configuration File” button on the first screen 
   after running `http://localhost/wordpress`
 * I just installed WP 3.6 on the latest WAMPServer while writing this … about a
   minute 🙂

 * I found the solution — start again! Must have been some issue with the unzipping
   of the ZIP file. Once I did the following the install under local WAMP was as
   easy as advertised!
 * 1. redownload the ZIP file
    2. extract to a separate directory (important! this
   is where my problem started) 3. copy the new extraction folder to your wamp/www/
   directory 4. start WAMP services 5. edit your wp-config.php then install using
   [http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php](http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php)
