Help : "settings.php was not found on this server."

Go look and see if that file is there on the server.

The file is not on the server and when i put a clean version of the file ive got this message :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_contextual_help() in /opt/sites/www.xavier.ws/htdocs/wp-admin/network/settings.php on line 22

Then you’re missing even more files. Re-upload the whole /network/ folder and if you still have error, upload all the wordpress files again.

is there a risk to upload the complete folder into my server ?

Nope.

so u mean that i should upload a “complete install” of wordpress to my server ?
but the wp-config,.htaccess and other files i configured will be changed no ?

No, they won’t, becuase the WordPress installer doesn’t have a wp-config.php file. It has a wp-config-EXAMPLE.php file. It won’t overwrite anything, unless you manually changed core files. Safe as houses.

No, uploading a fresh copy of files from www.remarpro.com will not overwrite your files.

wp-config.php and .htaccess aren’t part of the files downloaded. They are generated after installation.

Any other files you uploaded (themes/plugins) will be fine.

You can always do a backup of your files first to be safe.

It has a wp-config-EXAMPLE.php file.

*cough* wp-config-sample.php *cough* ??

mhh i cant backup all my files, error message :

421 Too many connections (8) from this IP

Then close whatever else you had open to that server.

esmi, Sample, example, meh ??

my theme is maybe the cause ?

No. None of the above messages are theme related.

Can you give us a link?

ok i tried to upload the entire folder of wordpress into my ftp server, and it still doestn work. ive got another settings file called “site-settings.php”
