Unable to start WP

    I have successfully installed several WP sites on this host with no problems at all. My current install just won’t start (see message below)
    I have checked, deleted and reinstalled WP, the index, wp-config, wp-blog-header, data base, I just can’t get past this. Everything seems correct. I’ve looked at the domain and the files are exactly where I’m pointing them. HELP! I’ve wasted four hours double checking everything.

    Warning: require(./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/adimage/public_html/wordpress/index.php on line 17

    Warning: require(./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/adimage/public_html/wordpress/index.php on line 17

    Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/adimage/public_html/wordpress/index.php on line 17

    Not resolved.
    Although I’m able to get to the site admin, I can’t preview any pages; I end up back with:
    Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./wordpressa/wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/adimage/public_html/wordpressa/index.php on line 17

    What am I doing wrong!

    Open your index.php file and replace what you have now with the following:

    <?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wordpressa/wp-blog-header.php');

    Or, just change the last line with
    require('./wordpressa/wp-blog-header.php');

    Already says that. see link https://www.adimage.net.au/WP.html.
    Is it a conflict with the existing .html site?

    Are you hosted with https://www.websitewelcome.com ?
    If so, click on the link and see.

    EDIT: Have you contacted your hosts regarding this issue?

    Still waiting for an answer from Hostgator’s sloooow support system

    There is a live CHAT system at Hostgator. It’s almost instant. Please try that.

    LOL, I spent a hour and a half on their chat and they couldn’t come up with an answer or even a suggestion. I had to close the chat as I had an appointment to go to. The promised email answer still hasn’t arrived.

    Yes, that’s HostGator

    You mean this?

    Resolved at last.
    I’m not sure what Hostgator did the explanation was vague. But it now works

    Glad to know that you could resolve the issue! ??

    I’ve been running a few Joomla sites for years and have only just switched to WordPress and the difference is amazing. The Joomla help forums are often sneering and full of jargon and if you don’t understand they dismiss you leaving you high and dry.
    So the WordPress help experience fills me full of confidence that I can get on with designing without learning weird code and jargon.
    Thanks for your help
