 * Hello.
    i’ve just installed WordPress…no problems there. I installed into a directory
   called log ([log](http://www.dub.ca/log)). One of the options is “If you want
   your blog homepage to be different than the directory you installed WordPress
   in, enter that address here”, so i changed that from [http://www.dub.ca/log](http://www.dub.ca/log)
   to [http://www.dub.ca](http://www.dub.ca), uploaded index.php to that dir. now
   i get an error message say: “Warning: main(): Unable to access ./wp-blog-header.
   php in /home/virtual/site329/fst/var/www/html/index.php on line 3 Warning: main(./
   wp-blog-header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/
   virtual/site329/fst/var/www/html/index.php on line 3 Fatal error: main(): Failed
   opening required ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/php/includes:/usr/share/
   php:/usr/share/pear’) in /home/virtual/site329/fst/var/www/html/index.php on 
   line 3″ Do I need to change something else? thanks mdp.
