./wp-blog-header.php failed to open stream

crack open your index.php with a plain text editor and change this:

require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);

to this:

require(‘wp-blog-header.php’);

see if that helps.

thanks whooami!
this really did the job.

From my provider I recieved following message:

It’s a problem with reference to a file in index.php. This problem has been solved. The reason can be the web-area runs in IIS and not Apache.

I am having the same problem. Only I cannot find that little bit of text

require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);

when I open index.php with Notepad.

I’m adding wordpress to a huge site with thousands of static pages. When I install index.php in the root directory, I can view the blog in my browser, but my home page generates the above error webmaid quoted. When I delete index.php from my root directory, I can view the homepage, but the blog generates the error.

I’m trying to install wordpress in its own blog folder:

https://www.sitename.com/blog

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Okay, I went and uninstalled then re-installed and got it to work. Thanks anyway.

I have a similar problem, only mine is with the footer.

Here is the error Warning: main(./admin-footer.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Do you know which file controls the footer?

Nevermind. I see what’s happening.

What is happening????

I have the same error. I followed whooami’s suggestion above to change the index.php code and that didn’t fix the problem.

I wanted to provide more details. When I used the GoDaddy auto install, it installed WP into the main directory, and it created a directory called “Blog”.

So here is a snapshot from my file manager:

All of the WordPress files are contained in the directory called Blog. Is anything missing from this main root directory that could fix my problem? Or should I move all of the WP related files out of the “Blog” directory and drop them into the root directory?

To summarize, when I type in my web address, https://www.bluehealerdiary.com, I receive the following error:

Warning: main(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/a/n/g/anga20/html/index.php on line 17

Warning: main(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/a/n/g/anga20/html/index.php on line 17

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/content/a/n/g/anga20/html/index.php on line 17

And when I type in https://www.bluehealerdiary.com/blog I receive this error:
arse error: syntax error, unexpected ”’ in /home/content/a/n/g/anga20/html/blog/index.php on line 17

However, I can still access my WP admin and dashboard.
