 * So I’ve uploaded all my files to my server, changed the wp-config.php file correctly
   and then tried to install trough my browser and get this odd code (see below)
   which I can’t figure out. Any help would be much appreciated.
 * Warning: include_once(/home/sniflboi/public_html/the-ipad-site.com/wp-includes/
   pomo/mo.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or 
   directory in /home/sniflboi/public_html/the-ipad-site.com/wp-settings.php on 
   line 342

 * it’s trying to find a file that’s not there.
 * Look at the directories in the error. Follow them and see if the file it wants
   really doesn’t exist. You’re probably best just deleting that install and starting
   again but this time upload the compressed version of wp and extract it on your
   server.
 * The safest way to do an install is to upload the installation as a single .zip
   or .tar.gz file and extract it in the location where you want the installation
   to be.

 * Hey Mark,
 * Thanks very much for the tip….I extracted the zip file on the server and it worked
   perfectly, brilliant.
 * Thanks again.
