# Problems with admin-functions.php

 * I’ve tried to install in awardspace.com but all I’ve got were error 500 pages.
   So I tried another server, 4000webs.com, where, again, I had (minor) problems.
 * When I tried first, I could only see a blank page. Since the other pages were
   redirecting me to install.php, I assumed it was a problem with install.php. Commenting
   parts of the code, I discovered that the problem wasn’t install.php, but admin-
   functions.php (included by upgrade-functions.php). After I take it off (commenting
   the require_once(ABSPATH . ‘/wp-admin/admin-functions.php’); line), install.php
   showed up “normaly”.
 * Since today weather is good and I’m a happy person, I’ve run install.php WITHOUT
   admin-functions.php – and, somehow, it worked.
 * However, I can’t enter in the administration area because it needs admin-functions.
   php – or, at least, I suppose so.
 * How can I put everything working? Is the server the problem?
 * PS: after this attempt, I did the same thing to awardspace.com, but it still 
   not works. Evil awardspace, evil 4000webs

 * Yeah both awardspace and 4000webs don’t play well with WordPress.
