    I uploaded all modx 2.0.6 to justhost through ftp.
    Then I try to navigate to setup folder through firefox starting with my domain name and I get this error.

    Warning: include_once(/home/wemyssw1/core/model/modx/modx.class.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/wemyssw1/public_html/index.php on line 28

    Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening ’/home/wemyssw1/core/model/modx/modx.class.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/wemyssw1/public_html/index.php on line 28

    I am new to all this but I noticed that modx files are repeated in public_html and www as well as the root? huh

      /home/wemyssw1/core/model/modx/modx.class.php

      Unless /wemyssw1/ is your webroot (so like the index of the website) or you used the advanced install to move the core folder you uploaded it in the wrong folder.

      Make sure you upload all the files into the webroot (the public_html, www or similar directory on your server) and go to domainname.com/setup.
