New installation. Admin works but not the website (failed to open stream)

  • This works:
    https://www.act2give.org/wp-admin

    However, the website https://www.act2give.org doesn’t work. Can anyone help?
    I get the following messages:

    Warning: main(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Data\websites\nicolaskalmus\act2give.org\wwwroot\index.php on line 17

    Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.;C:\php5\pear’) in D:\Data\websites\nicolaskalmus\act2give.org\wwwroot\index.php on line 17

  • at a minimum the wp-blog-header.php file is missing
    this is usually indicative of more missing

    No, its there

    I’m having this same problem. I can open the admin panel, but when I try to go to the WP page I get this:

    “Forbidden
    You don’t have permission to access /****/ on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    The problem may have to do with my .htaccess file. When I take that out, I get a directory list, not the blog.

    Its a windows server so no .htaccess file

    No such luck. I use Bluehost and they run Linux.

    @spencer_shaw: Even if wp-blog-header.php is there, it is still possible that an upload or upgrade didn’t go through properly and wp-blog-header.php isn’t exactly as it ought to be. It would probably be best to re-run an upgrade to whatever current version of WordPress you are using, manually uploading all the WordPress core files again.

    @casahac: You really should open a separate post for something like this… Check your .htaccess for a line which looks something like this

    DirectoryIndex

    and make sure that it is setup for index.php:

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

    There may also be other problems with the .htaccess file. Perhaps posting your domain name or the contents of the file itself here will help in solving the problem.
