    Warning: require(include/sql_parse.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/voltage/public_html/unbearable/install.php on line 36

    Warning: require(include/sql_parse.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/voltage/public_html/unbearable/install.php on line 36

    Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘include/sql_parse.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/voltage/public_html/unbearable/install.php on line 36

    can anyone help?

    Re-upload all the files again, that error message says that it cannot find the sql_parse.php file which is located in the include directory.

    If your on free hosting check if the file size doesn’t exceed the limit, or that the file doesn’t contain blocked words

    cheers,
