 * Help get this when I click on: Open /wp-admin/install.php in your browser. This
   should setup the tables needed for your blog. If there is an error, double check
   your wp-config.php file, and try again. If it fails again, please go to the support
   forums with as much data as you can gather.
 * And I get this:
    Warning: require_once(../wp-load.php) [function.require-once]:
   failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ics07/public_html/wp-
   admin/install.php on line 4
 * Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../wp-
   load.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/ics07/public_html/
   wp-admin/install.php on line 4

 * ya. Just uploaded wp-load again to double check. It’s there. Is it wp-config
   
   Mine is: <?php // ** MySQL settings ** // define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘*****.org’); // 
   The name of the database define(‘DB_USER’, ‘****’); // Your MySQL username define(‘
   DB_PASSWORD’, ‘*****’); // …and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99%
   chance you won’t need to change this value define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); define(‘
   DB_COLLATE’, ”);

 * You’re not even getting the wp-config.php to run because of that error.

 * ok thanks managed to resolve the first prb now got another prb!
    Can’t select
   database
 * We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and
   password is okay) but not able to select the ics07.org database.
 *  * Are you sure it exists?
    * Does the user ics07 have permission to use the 
   ics07.org database? * On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with
   your username, so it would be like username_wordpress. Could that be the problem?
 * If you don’t know how to setup a database you should contact your host. If all
   else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.

 * usually you wouldn’t have
    `ics07.org` as a db name it would be more like `ics07_org`
   but all hosts do it a bit differently
 * login to phpmyadmin through your control panel as your user and pass are correct–
   when you get to the db page, look at the top left and there will be the exact
   name of your db
    put the correct value in wp-config.php

 * Samboll,
 * I am getting the same message jaganhair was getting. I have tried to debug it
   like you have mentioned to him but I am running into the same problem of…
    “We
   were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password
   is okay) but not able to select the ics07.org database.
 * * Are you sure it exists?
    * Does the user ics07 have permission to use the ics07.
   org database? * On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your
   username, so it would be like username_wordpress. Could that be the problem?”
 * What am I missing?
    Thanks

   me with this?

 * ok, well here’s a lesson in double-checking your work.
 * your error involves 2 files, so…
 * first, the file that is **spitting out** the error is here:
 * `/..../htdocs/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php`
 * in web accessible language, that file is right here:
 * [http://recommendedconnections.com/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php](http://recommendedconnections.com/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php)
 * what you see when you click that is exactly what one should see: a blank PHP 
   page.
 * the file that functions.php is looking for, is this one:
 * `/..../htdocs/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php`
 * the url for **that file** would be right here:
 * [http://recommendedconnections.com/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php](http://recommendedconnections.com/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php)
 * Click that, what do you see? I see a 404.
 * **Page Not Found**
 * so, is that file there?

 * Thanks for your help…
