Hi all,
I am installing wordpress until install phpMyAdmin, but when I am copying wordpress files in the www folder and then typing http:/localhost/wordpress in the address bar I receive this error:

Warning: require(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\AppServ\www\wordpress\index.php on line 17

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required './wp-blog-header.php' (include_path='.;C:\php6\pear') in C:\AppServ\www\wordpress\index.php on line 17

As a rule, you should not install anything on the root directory of the system volume (C:/ in your case, most likely). And I'm not sure that this is a question on programming.

Try following the installation guide (http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress). You need to run the install setup script first. Try http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php first.

Regards,
