 * I have done everything up to the point of running the install script. When I 
   type “[http://mydomain.com/wp-admin/install.php&#8221](http://mydomain.com/wp-admin/install.php&#8221);
   into my browser, substituting my own domain, of course, I get the following message:
 * Warning: require_once(/home/p261i9ll/public_html/wp-load.php) [function.require-
   once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/p261i9ll/public_html/
   wp-admin/install.php on line 36
 * Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/
   p261i9ll/public_html/wp-load.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/
   php’) in /home/p261i9ll/public_html/wp-admin/install.php on line 36
 * This sounds serious, so I guess I need some serious help!

 * Try re-uploading all files & folders from a **fresh** download of WordPress.

 * I just did that today. The file transfer appears to be complete because the size
   of each of the files is the same. I wish I had noted the size of the files before
   I replaced them with the fresh download from WordPress.
 * Talking to Register.com, they told me that I was missing my index.php file. However,
   there is an index file. I can not find a way to see the extension to make sure
   it is php. However, it the same thing on my computer as on the server.
 * Any more ideas. I am still checking everything I can think of.
 * Thanks.
