“There has been a critical error on this website.” / Blank screen

Hi, guys!

I tried logging into my WordPress account after weeks. I’m on localhost. Can’t access login to dashboard and site front page, both display “There has been a critical error on this website.” Can access phpMyAdmin.

Disabling themes, plugins and .htaccess file via the folders, clearing cache and cookies didn’t help.

Debugger says it’s a 500 internal server error and the following:

[12-Apr-2024 15:35:06 UTC] PHP Warning:? require(/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wordpress/wp-includes/rest-api/class-wp-rest-server.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wordpress/wp-settings.php on line 265

After enabling the debugger file it went from “There has been a critical error on this website.” To a completely blank screen
