“FATAL ERROR” WHEN INSTALLING WORDPRESS

    So I am trying to install WordPress on a local hosted server (WampServer), however, i keep getting this error saying that the Load.php file does not exist, yet it does (in the www directory). I tried rebooting the server and removing the files and putting them back in but it still won’t work. I also tried putting the WordPress files in the www directory directly but that didn’t work either.

    THESE ARE THE ERRORS:

    ( ! ) Warning: require_once(C:\wamp64\www\esu_db/wp-includes/load.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp64\www\esu_db\wp-load.php on line 51

  • Hi @ammii101

    In the past I have had a similar Fatal Issue show up and it was resolved by doing a Manual Update. For manual update:

    Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/directory. You may need to delete the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading the new ones. Read the Manual Update directions first.

    –Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong.

    Hey @tsure , thanks for telling me. However, I realised that the problem was that when I was copying over the wordpress files, my computer missed out the wp-content and wp-includes folders. And so, like you said I downloaded a fresh copy and it worked.

    Thanks anyway ??
