"impossible to copy file wp-config-sample.php" on upgrade

  • I’m in localhost, using LAMP – for Linux – and just tried to upgrade to WP 4.4. The installation failed and when i clicked the updates to try again, I got a blank grey page at https://localhost/wp-admin/

    Does anyone know how I can solve this?
    I have a Updraftplus backup from yesterday, in last case, but i can’t even open the dashboard.

  • Sounds like a standard White Screen of Death. Have you tried disabling your plugins and setting a default theme like twentyfifteen? Try the link below for help with that issue. Have a great weekend!

    thanks for dropping by.

    How can i disable plugins if I can’t access the dashboard?

    checking the link.

    have a great weekend also

    You have a few options to disable the plugins.

    You can locate the folder wp-content/plugins and rename the Plugin folder plugins_old. This will deactivate all of your Plugins.

    You can go into the wp-content/plugins and rename each plugin folder individually and retest your site. I prefer to rename them wp-content/plugins/pluginname.disabled so I know which one I changed. If you get your Dashboard to come back up, you identified which plugin is causing the issue.

    Your other option is to use phpMyAdmin to deactivate all plugins. Check out this link if you want to go that route.

    How to deactivate all plugins when not able to access the administrative menus?

    Hope you find it!
