Problem with missing wp-config.php file

Hello everyone,

I’m a relative newbie to WordPress, but I have done 2 successful installations on a different host with no problems.

My problem is that when I go to my blog after uploading the files, I get the following message:

“There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.”

However, I have edited the wp-config-sample.php file with the relative DB information, changed the file name (making sure the filename is in lower case), and have uploaded the file to the server.

When I click on the link to create a wp-config.php file through the web interface, I get the following message:

“The file ‘wp-config.php’ already exists. If you need to reset any of the configuration items in this file, please delete it first. You may try installing now.”

This seems to indicate that the file really is there, which kind of confuses me as the first message the server gives me indicates that it isn’t there.

Furthermore, when I follow the link to try installing, I get this message:

“Fatal error: Failed opening required ‘//wp-settings.php’ (include_path=’.:’) in //wp-config.php on line 20”

I have set the permissions, and believe this should be working like a champ…but its not.

Also, my host provider is Hostsave, in case that is relevent.

TIA for any help you guys can shoot my way!!!!
