• Hi
    I;m new to WordPress. I created a site, it was working normally but suddenly it went blank.
    Now when I type the site address I see nothing!
    I reviewed the error log and it says:

    [28-Oct-2011 02:17:57] PHP Fatal error: require() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required 'ABSPATHwp-includes/load.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/arios/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 21

    Please help me. Thanks.

  • Try re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress.

    Delete any newly install plugin !

    I didn’t install any new plugins. I’m currently uploading wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress. I’ll report the result. Thank you.

    Ok Great..
    Make sure you uploaded the files of the same version which was previously installed !

    No it didn’t solve the problem. ??

    Try re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress.

    How about the wp-config.php file?

    Ok esmi I’m re-uploading everything except the wp-content folder.

    You wont found any wp-config.php in a fresh download ??

    There’s no reason to suspect a wp-config.php issue at this point.

    Upload complete! The problem persists! What else can I do?

    Did you use a fresh download of WordPress? If “yes”, then examine your wp-config.php file,. At the bottom of the file, you should see:

    /** WordPress absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
    if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
    	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
    
    /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
    require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

    Yes I downloaded WordPress an hour ago.

    Yes the end of the file is like this:

    /** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
    if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
    	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
    
    /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
    require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

    In that case, I think this may be a server problem. The line:

    Failed opening required 'ABSPATHwp-includes/load.php'

    shows that the path to the wp-includes folder isn’t being created correctly based on dirname(__FILE__). Since your wp-config.php file includes the correct code to create the path, then the problem must lie with the server. Contact your hosts and ask them to please look into this asap.

    I have two other WordPress sites in a different folder and they both work flawlessly. Could this still be a server problem?
