 * Does this work with sub directories? Cause I am using a free server until I get
   the hang of it.
 * anyways I uploaded all the word press files to my root directory and when I do
   the step to install it gives me the following errors…
 * Warning: require_once(ABSPATHwp-admin/includes/admin.php) [function.require-once]:
   failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/a4956060/public_html/
   wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php on line 16
 * Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘ABSPATHwp-
   admin/includes/admin.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) 
   in /home/a4956060/public_html/wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php on line 16
 * any you guys know whats wrong?
 * Thanks Guys

 * `wp-admin/includes/admin.php`
    this file is missing and likely more free servers
   are notorious for not transferring everything just upload that filoe – if you
   get another error, upload the file that refers to, etc.

 * We are trying to install a wordpress template and it seems there is no presentation
   tab on my dashboard. We have looked everywhere for that tab. If you have anytime
   could you help us out in locating this tab.
 * Also what is this CSS Upgrade. Do we need to upgrade our blog before we can install
   a new wordpress template? We hope to hear from you soon.

 * did you try re-uploading it anyway? It could just be a partial.
    That is what
   the error refers to.
