Title: Installation Errors, please help!

When I opened install.php, I got the following errors: * Warning: main(/home/prairier/www/www/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/prairier/www/www/blog/ wp-settings.php on line 72 * Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/prairier/ www/www/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in / home/prairier/www/www/blog/wp-settings.php on line 72 * What can I do to fix it???

Why do you have twice the /www/ directory in that path? Where did you create your “blog” directory?

(To be on the safe side I’d upload a new, fresh copy of the wp-includes folder) * Thread Starter [dreampainter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dreampainter/) * (@dreampainter) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-errors-please-help/#post-448747) * File size is fine….new copy and old are identical… size= 10351 Sep 07 20:14 wp-db.php * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-errors-please-help/#post-448770) * I believe you though the error message in your OP shows the script cannot find the wp-db.php file at the expected location.
