This is the error I'm getting:

Warning: main(./includes/bootstrap.inc) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hermes/bosweb/web157/b1576/sl.pivotalf/public_html/daep/index.php on line 15

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/bootstrap.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php-4.4.7/lib/php') in /hermes/bosweb/web157/b1576/sl.pivotalf/public_html/daep/index.php on line 15

Anybody know the cure?

I'm trying to install drupal-6.13 onto localhost. When I point browser to http://localhost
(i.e., Apache's DOCUMENT_ROOT,where drupal resides) I see the message:
"Warning:include_once(include/install.inc):failed to open stream:
No such file or directory in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/includes/database.inc"

There is no simple cure, because in this case include_once uses relative path as an argument.
The directory "includes" obviousely does not contain one more directory called "includes",
which is called from the script database.inc.
This is fatal and obvious error of installation script.

The only way I see is to prepend all "include_once's" arguments with $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/'.
This is for the case of Apache
But it would be much better if drupal's team correct the installation procedure. :-)
