Joomla forums suck. Any Joomla experts here?

On the firing line
I just uploaded the files and am getting this message when I goto my index.php page:

Code: 
Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/path/to/joomla/install/includes/version.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /homepages/0/blahblahblah/htdocs/includes/joomla.php on line 71
So, I tried going directly to the /installation/index.php page. Still same problem.

Is this a path problem, permissions problem, or something else.

I put /info.php on the site to double check that PHP is all good, and it seems to be.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

It is a path problem, I had it when I upgraded to the newer version of Joomla. This is what I had bookmarked to fix it (I ended up going back to the older version though):

To avoid this error edit configuration.php and put the real absolute path ant line 6 : mosconfig_absolute_path
and at line 10
 
This is what my current config file looks like on those two lines:

6 $mosConfig_absolute_path = '/home/blablabla/public_html';

10 $mosConfig_cachepath = '/home/blablabla/public_html/cache';
 
Even though I'm glad I use drupal now.. I was at first attracted to Joomla.. and the main reason I didn't stick with it.. was cuz of the fucking install/security error messages I got afterwards which I just couldn't find any info on lol.. let me know how joomla is doing for your needs.. I still might try it on another site
 
Anyone use e107? I used to use it a long time ago for a few sites anyone still using it? It was the easiest I found to use back then and I tried almost everything back then.
 
If anyone wants to give Joomla, a shot I'm more than happy to help with what I can. I've been using it for about a year and I've played with different modules, components, crashed it and fixed it, hacked templates and generally like it a lot.
 
I'm willing to help as well. I've been using it for over a year now on multiple sites, including Gamers Radio.
