I'll be the first to admit I may be in a bit over my head in trying to install Drupal, but I'll go ahead and post my issue here.
I'm trying to setup Drupal using godaddy as host. I've uploaded all of the Drupal files to a /drupal subdirectory using my Filezilla. When I try to access that subdirectory, I get this message:
Warning: require_once(./includes/bootstrap.inc) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Hosting\4408797\html\drupal\index.php on line 15
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/bootstrap.inc' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in D:\Hosting\4408797\html\drupal\index.php on line 15

The files in Drupal are organized in subfolders, for example the "bootstrap.inc" file (about which the error message complains) was supposed to be inside an "includes" folder (drupal/includes/bootstrap.inc).
Make sure that the program that you used to open Drupal's tar.gz package preserves that structure. Or try 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org).
Thank you so much. I was
Thank you so much. I was making it much more difficult than it had to be. I used WinZip to extract the install files and it did NOT preserve the folder structure. The program you recommended did and now I can move on to the next step. Thanks again ... and again.
Hopefully the rest will go much smoother.
so simple yet missed it
thank you
