Site Crashed

Hey, Sambu!

Have you tried FTPing to the site and fixing the admin.php file? Or, if you’re not familiar with PHP, you can just copy a fresh admin.php from another site/install and copy it into \wp-admin folder on your site. That may fix it.

I have tried deleting the wp-admin folder, but it wont go! the wp-admin/includes folder has the file permissions 00 and will not delete.

Any ideas how to get rid of it!?

If you log in with FTP you can set permissions on folders and files.
Dont know what ftp client your using but Filezilla for example is rightclick and permissions.

The file permissions would not change for some reason. So i contacted my host and they were able to change the permissions and remove the wp-admin folder.

I uploaded a fresh wp-admin folder from another install of WordPress, but then after about 1 minute of being in wp-admin I got the following error.

Warning: require_once(/home/timbateq/public_html/wp-admin/includes/admin.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/timbateq/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php on line 82

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/home/timbateq/public_html/wp-admin/includes/admin.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/timbateq/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php on line 82

And also

The file permissions on the wp-admin/include folder have been set back to ’00’

is this right?

You still have problems with you permissons.
Permission denied in /home/timbateq/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php

What host are you using and how did you install wordpress?

We use Vidahost and we installed WordPress using softaculous.

Ok, Installing it with the host softacoulus you should be able to get some support from your host in this matter as it is supposed to create everything correct for you.

Second i would try to uninstall with softacoulus and reinstall.

If you tried to install with fantastico before, go back and see if you have anything there that can be uninstalled. If there is uninstall with fantastico to before reinstalling.

Installing it manually is another way to do it:
