Install error

Hi – first, please try not to post the same problem if no one has responded in the last 30 minutes … just so you know.

As far as the error – what version of WP are you using, and have you altered the file any? Also, a web address will help diagnose the problem. Let me know – it looks like it’s simply an extra slash somewhere or something, but I can’t know for sure yet …

It looks like somewhere you’ve entered a path with a trailing slash where it shouldn’t have been, though I don’t know of any place in the WordPress installation that you could have done that. Maybe it was in the server setup?

Could also be a corrupt version of one of the two files (wp-config.php and wp-settings.php). You might try uploading fresh copies of both of those to the appropriate directory on the server.

I tried 1.5 first and got this error. Then i upload 1.2 and i’m still getting the same message. Right now i’m using 1.2 blakey.
Should i go back to 1.5?

I just reuploaded 1.5 and now i’m getting

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

If the file is corrupted how can i get a new one?

If the file is corrupt, delete it and download a new copy of WordPress (or if you can get it, just the required file).
Check the permissions on the file – are they set to at least 755. Check that the file exists on the server, it may not have been uploaded or may have been uploaded with zero length.

BUT, it seems to be a PHP-related error so you should contact your hosting provider, or research the solution on a forum geared toward PHP solutions.

In the support forums – topic 22383 seems to have an alternate solution.
