This just in from my hosting service tech support:
The version of Apache running on your server is 1.3. The full path to your home directory is:
/home/wh60319/public_html.
The version of PHP on the server is 4.2.0. Despite the requirements stating that only version 4.1 is needed, I don’t believe WordPress will run with PHP 4.2.0, due to a problem with how PHP reports the $_SERVER[“SCRIPT_FILENAME”] superglobal variable when being called from within an include file.
Sorry about not providing all of this in one post…it’s been a crazy morning!
Thanx to all

Here’s the server config:
PHP 4.2.3
MySQL Version 11.15 Distribution 3.23.4
Apache 1.3
Full path to home directory is: /home/wh60319/public_html.

Can anyone comment on this? I would love to get past this point. I have tried all of the above recomendations to no avail. Should I look for another hosting service? I would like to avoid that if I can but…
Thanx

I just encountered this problem. I solved it with:
define(‘ABSPATH’, “/fully/qualified/path/to/install/dir” . dirname(__FILE__));
require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
DD, that would be ‘/home/wh60319/public_html’ for you.
with PHP 4.2, you might also be hitting http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=13936
