Fatal Error on first login

try uploading a fresh copy of wp-admin/admin-functions.php and see if that helps.

1. delete the old copy
2. upload new copy

Yeah, I re-uploaded the original with no change.

I also downloaded a fresh copy and replaced the file. No better.

you are uploading in ascii mode, correct? Not binary?

I’m using FTP.

what they meant is are you using ascii mode when ftping your files. Most ftp clients should give you a choice of what mode to transfer in. Look in the options, or if it’s command line run the help it should be listed.

Oh, I see. Thanks. It’s in binary. I’m changing it now. Does that mean I’m going to have to re-upload everything?

OK, so i changed the mode and uploaded a fresh copy only to be met with the same problem.

Did you delete everything that was already there, and then reupload everything?

Thanks for the help. I reuploaded everything in the directory, and it seems to be working now. No more fatal error messages anyway, so that’s a good start.

I’m having this same issue with 2.3.3 on a local install. Actually I have two local installs, one has no trouble, the other one does. I already deleted and re-‘uploaded’ the file that defines wp_reset_vars, wp/admin/includes/misc.php and it doesn’t help.

The strange thing is that the problem started out of the blue. I was working on a plugin, made a change to it and went back to my web browser to go into the admin and all of a sudden I get this error. I only have this error when trying to go to any admin page.

Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

It appears to have something to do with the plugin I’m writing. Don’t know what’s causing this yet, but I’ll figure that out.
