    I’m trying to implement WordPress 1.5 and everything now seems to be working from my wp-config.php file. When I run the install.php from my browser, however, I get this on my screen:

    Warning: main(D:\inetpub\rhrventures\wordpress/wp-includes/version.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\inetpub\rhrventures\wordpress\wp-settings.php on line 113

    Warning: main(D:\inetpub\rhrventures\wordpress/wp-includes/version.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\inetpub\rhrventures\wordpress\wp-settings.php on line 113

    Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘D:\inetpub\rhrventures\wordpress/wp-includes/version.php’ (include_path=’.;c:\php\pear’) in D:\inetpub\rhrventures\wordpress\wp-settings.php on line 113

    Any help? I’m not very savvy, so simple responses are appreciated.

    Thanks

    Try to upload a fresh copy of the wp-includes/version.php… or the whole wp-includes directory.

    Thanks! The change in version.php file worked. However, after completing steps 1 and 2, I got this error:

    Directory Listing Denied
    This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

    What next?

    Talk to your host 😉
    Tell them to make index.php a valid index file.

    Thanks. My host has opened up a directory, but now after I login, I get a directory list. Is this supposed to happen? Did I choose the wrong directory to have listing?

    Please advise. Sorry for being so simple.

    My host has opened up a directory

    I am afraid I don’t get it. All you had to do was to tell them (verbatim) what I wrote above: make index.php a valid index file.
    They don’t have to “open” anything, just changing the server’s settings. They should know if they are in the hosting business…

    I suppose you mean when you log in to WordPress as an administrator. In WordPress you should never get a directory listing.

    What looks like directories in your URL – the web address you see in your browser’s address field, are not real directories, but pointers to your categories and posts, handled by WordPress to extract posts from your database and present them using PHP.

    Do you have a link that opens a directory listing?

    They said they understood what needed to get done, but obviously they did not. I have requested again that they make index.php a valid index file.

    petit, I think these were diretories as I was able to link to the parent directory and see all files below it. I think the host just made the directory listing available per the error message without taking action on the index.php file.

    Thanks for the help. I will let you know how it works out.

    I think everything is all worked out. Thank you very much for your help.
