 * I get this error message when I go to install.php:
 * > Fatal error: Call to undefined function stripslashes_deep() in /customers/mydomain.
   > se/mydomain.se/httpd.www/wordpress/wp-settings.php on line 578
 * Where my domain name is replaced by “mydomain”.

 * Did you try re-uploading all of your wordpress core-files?
    So delete everything
   except wp-config.php and wp-content directory and re-upload everything. Please
   report back 😉

 * why re-uploading core file is necessary?

 * Because it seems like there is a call to a function that can not be found. Which
   suggests that not all of the files were uploaded correctly.

 * A re-upload from a healthy computer with a working FTP client did the trick! 
   Thanks!
