Install.php problem

[JosiahR]

When I tried installing Wordpress 2.2.3 (or the newest one) and it gave me an error code. The way we fixed it was to uses an older version.

What was the error code?

What version of PHP are you using?

Are you using WordPress 2.2.3 or 2.3.1?

[JosiahR]

I am not sure what the error code is
5.0
2.3.1

Closing as invalid, not enough information to pursue the issue unfortunately. If you get the error message please first check the support forum at ​http://wordpress.org/support/ and then if it seems like a bug open a new ticket with all the details you can gather.

You stated that there was an error code, yet did not give an error code. It can not be expected to solve your problem without more information.

Is it PHP 5.0.0, or PHP 5.0.4?

OK hold on I will try to locate it.

This is what it says.

Warning: require_once(../wp-includes/functions.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/10/d223131664/htdocs/pastors/install.php on line 4

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../wp-includes/functions.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php5') in /homepages/10/d223131664/htdocs/pastors/install.php on line 4

OK sorry I did not say it properly that was the error code it gave me. I guess that it is not a real error code just an error. Sorry for the confusion.

Change the line 4 (or whatever line the require_once() is on) in install.php to

require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../wp-includes/functions.php');

If it works, then it probably means you have safe mode on, or it could be a problem with your include_path settings or any number of other things.

Thank you very much!

Did it work?

Judging by the filename /homepages/10/d223131664/htdocs/pastors/install.php, it seems that when you unzipped WordPress, you opted not to "recreate the directory structure", as install.php should be in wp-admin/install.php.
