 * I uploaded a clean version of wordpress 2.0 on my webspace, and then i tryied
   to install it through the script:
    [http://xxx.pfwh.net/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php](http://xxx.pfwh.net/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php)
 * and the output is:
 * Notice: Use of undefined constant ABSPATH – assumed ‘ABSPATH’ in /mnt/x/home/
   13169241944/www/web/wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php on line 3
 * Warning: main(ABSPATH/wp-admin/admin-functions.php): failed to open stream: No
   such file or directory in /mnt/x/home/13169241944/www/web/wordpress/wp-admin/
   upgrade-functions.php on line 3
 * Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘ABSPATH/wp-admin/admin-functions.
   php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /mnt/x/home/13169241944/www/web/
   wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php on line 3
 * How can i fix it?
    p.s. the file upgrade-functions.php and admin-functions.php
   are where they are supposed to be, all the files are in the right place.

 * Is it possible you removed this line from your wp-config.php?
 * `define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');`
 * If you did, just make sure it exists in that file before:
 * `require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');`

 * Same problem is occuring with my installation.
 * I have made sure the absolute path is defined in the config file and it is.
    
   Also have made sure upgrade-functions.php and admin-functions.php are uploaded
   and they are.
 * Very confused… help would be appreciated. Output:
 * > Warning: main(ABSPATH/wp-admin/admin-functions.php): failed to open stream:

 * I had the same problem and fixed it via creating a new wp-config.php.
 * Let me guess, you used setup-config.php to do the config file?
