No such file or directory in ./admin.php

Hi Canoock,

Can you try re-uploading WordPress manually via FTP? Don’t overwrite wp-content directory and wp-config.php file.

Thank you. I have doe that – it does not help.

Update
This happens on entirely new install of wordpress 3.3.2 including new database.

Then the new database is what the updated WP uses and that leaves the old database unused. Check it.

Krishna, I am sorry but I fail to understand what you are saying. I install a brand new wordpress and a brand new database. I am getting the same message as I posted at the head of this thread.

The old database does not figure in the new install at all.

Please post your site URL

I am sorry: Posting a url without giving you access to admin is meaningless. The blo posts work, what does not work is administration. I am prepared to email or PM the access.

Try this:
Open admin.php and at line 30, try to replace:

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

with

require_once( . ‘/wp-load.php’);

You can read a similar solved problem at this thread.

I had read the thread before I posted. I tried their (and you suggestion). What happens is that the wp-load.php does get loaded but you get series of messages regarding duplicate function definitions.

This should not generally happen if you freshly upgraded WP. If this happens it can be either related to your DB/ config.php file or some of the core files being corrupt. Your error logs may contain this, and your host will be able to fix it quickly. For people like me, one of the easiest ways is to actually see and test the site using various tools, which in this case is not possible. Neither you can make out. Then why don’t you approach your host?

It can also be because of server settings and permissions. With which company is your site hosted?

I have my own AIX server.. On the server, I have a working version of WordPress which I do not update.

In the fresh install, there cannot be a problem with config.php.

There might be a problem with the DB but is has not changed for ages. The amount of debugging I would have to do on a 5 minute install system is prohibitive.

I am not dependent on WordPress and will defer any other attempts to install it.

Thank you for your help.

You are welcome!

I do not know why this was marked resolved – it was not …

I could not resist some further testing. This suggestion

Try this:
Open admin.php and at line 30, try to replace:

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

with

require_once( . ‘/wp-load.php’);

did not work but

include(  '../wp-load.php');

did – so far.

I now confirm that the above fix worked for me even after I restored the old version of the wordpress instance and upgraded. That is, as long as I modified wp-admin/admin.php line 30 to
include( '../wp-load.php');

No I do consider it resolved, too.
