Install Error

  • Hey Guys, I’m re-designing & updating a WP site for a client. I deleted the old Wp install via FTP and uploaded WP 4.0. I then went through and configured the wp-config file to match the MySQL data.

    When I try to proceed with the instal (www.afterdarkseries.com/wp-admin/install.php) I get this error.

    Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘D:\Inetpub\afterdarkseries/wp-load.php’ (include_path=’.;c:\PHP5′) in D:\Inetpub\afterdarkseries\wp-admin\install.php on line 36

    I looked up the file directory it’s referring to and got this.

    require_once( dirname( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . '/wp-load.php' );

    Any thoughts?

    Try downloading a fresh copy of WordPress from the Download tab at the top of this page, extract the files, then reupload the files to your host.
    Read the Manual Update directions first! Also, make sure you are using ASCII transfer mode in your FTP client.

    If you have an .htaccess file, that too could be causing the problem–rename that if necessary.

    Okay I re-installed everything, & used ASCII. This time it’s letting me access the afterdarkseries.com/wp-admin/install.php page to setup the wp-config.php

    But, when I fill out the info it sends me to a list of errors…

    Is your site on a local or a remote server?

    If on remote server, you may want to discuss with your hosting provider.
