    disable all plugins

    re-activate default theme

    start all over again to narrow down what is causing the problem.

    It's hard to say without being able to troubleshoot it myself. Can you open that admin.php file in dreamweaver or wordpad and copy line 3 to this forum?

    Thanks,
    Dave

    When does the error happen? Have you been able to set the blog up and get into the dashboard area or are you stuck on the initial stages of setup?

    Well, the error messages ALWAYS tell you what the problem is.

    You uploaded the WP files in the wrong place, or you didn't keep the folder structure when unzipped or some similar user mistake.
    (this is also for dadamson)

    You do NOT need to look into the file because this part or the error message

    No such file or directory in /home/public_html/admin.php on line
    says clearly that the admin.php file IS IN THE WRONG PLACE!
    It should NOT be in the root directory. Period.

    Delete all the files and directories an start over.
