 * My site heloucou.com is showing this error message on the homepage.
 * Warning: require_once(../wp-load.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open
   stream: No such file or directory in /home/heloucou/public_html/admin.php on 
   line 20
 * Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../wp-
   load.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/heloucou/
   public_html/admin.php on line 20
 * The admin login is fine. I think this has all happened because I was trying to
   install the site on a new domain and messing around too much with ftp.
 * Any ideas how to get the site back?
 * Thanks
