Can't get into Admin - new install

I am also receiving "Fatal Error" and I cannot access my admin area at all.

Here is the error message I receive:

Warning: main(/includes/autoload_func.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:\meganolson.com\graphiteform.com\catalog\admin\includes\application_top.php on line 149

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/includes/autoload_func.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in E:\meganolson.com\graphiteform.com\catalog\admin\includes\application_top.php on line 149

I've gone ahead and pasted my application_top.php file below

I've been able to locate the autoload_func.php file as well (it is located in graphiteform.com/catalog/includes/autoload_func.php), so looks like both files are present. I also tried deleting and re-uploading my admin directory but that did not work.

Working on a windows server, and just finished the install process. I'm able to open my store, but cannot access admin.

Thanks for your help!

Please post your 2 configure.php files' contents here, but remove the password.

Thank you!

The admin configure.php file appears to be a default file ... as if the installer didn't have permission to write it during installation.
Make sure both configure.php files are writable, and rerun the installer.

Success! I guess when in doubt - try starting over again.

Thank you very much for the suggestion, I am now able to access my admin area!:clap:
