Fatal Error Message...Admin Page Issue

[Little T]

Hello! I looked through the formums but couldn't find an answer to my questions. I learned a ton about other Zen Cart stuff! This site ROCKS!
I'm new to Zen Cart and am following the instructions in the Zen Cart book "Zen Cart, Building an online store the Zen way". I have finished step by step the instructions for installation etc. and am on page 54, chapter 4 "Welcome to the Administrative Module".
I was trying to log into the Admin page and when I do it gives me the following error message:

Warning: require(/includes/autoload_func.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.dinglehopper/makesyousmile/makesyousmilegallery.com/store/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 147

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/includes/autoload_func.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/.dinglehopper/makesyousmile/makesyousmilegallery.com/store/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 147

So, I tried it both ways it says to try it in the book (ie. /store/admin and just /admin) but with no success. Then I went in and changed the permissions on the files the error messages were referencing in case that was the issue. Did a publish and tried again with a new browser. Still didn't work.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'm very new to Zen Cart, so any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you!!!

Try reuploading the whole admin directory.

It looks as though your install is not complete as trying your makesyousmilegallery.com/store does not get to the store bu indicates this:
makesyousmilegallery.com/store/zc_install/index.php -with this as the message - No input file specified.

Did you successfully install this? With the congratulations screen and links to the store and the admin at the bottom?

Thank you both for your quick response! I will have the guy who is doing the initial installation know what he needs to do to fix this.

On a separate note, I was told I had to delete the folder and all sub folders called: zc_install.
Is that correct? Just thought if it wasn't, I'd have him re-install that file as well.

Thanks again for your help! It is greatly appreciated!!!
Have a great day!

Once the installation is complete, then yes, you need to remove (or rename) the zc_install directory.

Thank you! I removed that file after I had the fresh install done.
Amazingly it worked! I'm good to go to start setting up my store and it's the newest version of Zen Cart! Yay!
Thank you again everyone for all your help!
Have a great day!
