First hosted Moodle install - getting required_once errors

Hey guys, my non-profit has had me experimenting with Moodle to launch a web training and I went through the installation process with WAMP several times.

After much discovery time and trying things out, building a few trainings, etc.. we decided Moodle was the way to go.

We got GoDaddy hosting, and I just FTPd the contents of the latest Moodle zip archive.

However, when I go to the site, like I would on localhost w/WAMP, instead of the regular install dialogue I get this when the site navigates to install.php:

----------------------------------------------
Warning: require_once(/home/content/08/8824808/html/message/lib.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/08/8824808/html/lib/messagelib.php on line 29

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/content/08/8824808/html/message/lib.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5_3/lib/php') in /home/content/08/8824808/html/lib/messagelib.php on line 29

----------------------------------------------

I have researched the best I could, and tried even changing the CHMOD for all of the site, through both FileZilla and GoDaddy's FTP to 777 -- nothing has worked so far.

I'm relatively fresh to web development, so I'm not sure if its something in one of the .php files that I need to change a directory to or how to go about figuring out via some process of elimination like I usualy do, about what the above error can possibly mean-- yet.

 

Ideas guys?

At the risk of stating the very obvious - does /home/content/08/8824808/html/lib/messagelib.php exist on your server?

The common reason for this is that, having transferred the files by FTP, the transfer failed and you didn't notice.

You're right, this is strange.. was using FileZilla and it copied over what looks like only 90% of the files.  I have not experienced this before.

Thank you.

I once got this kind of  error message. All I did was to upload the files again and that solved my problem. Try to ftp all your files successfully.
