 * I installed the blog and everything went fine. Goes to the admin login page and
   this is the error message I get….
 * Warning: require_once(/home/jaser/public_html/admin.php) [function.require-once]:
   failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/jaser/public_html/wp-
   admin/admin.php on line 12
 * Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/
   jaser/public_html/admin.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’)
   in /home/jaser/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php on line 12

 * I’m not sure what the specific error is, but it would seem it has something to
   do with trying to install in sub-folders or similar arrangement of files. It’s
   looking for admin.php in the root directory instead of under /wp-admin/admin.

 * I came across similar errors elsewhere. Have a look in case it sheds any light
   on your specific problem:

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