WordPress 2.6 Update Error

  • After upgrading my site from 2.51 to 2.6 I receive the following error messages:

    Warning: require_once(/***/***/*****/******/wp-load.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /***/***/*****/******/wp-blog-header.php on line 12

    Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/***/***/*****/******/wp-load.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear’) in /***/***/*****/******/wp-blog-header.php on line 12

    I have deactivated all plugins previously. Anyone having any ideas what could cause that error ?

    The errors appear on the main site but also when trying to update the blog in wp-admin/update.php and the wp-admin directory.

    You probably have some missing files – you will have to simply go back and check which file is missing or not been replaced.

    ghacks:
    I got the same error message when I tried the Automatic upgrade. You will find the missing file “wp-load.php” in the main directory of WordPress 2.6. I copied “wp-load.php” to my wordpress root directory on the server, and everything worked fine.

    what do you mean by root directory?

    root directory (as applicable to wordpress) = where your wp-config.php lives

    Ooh, I think this may well solve my problem too. Can you tell me where to copy wp-load.php from? Can’t seem to find it

    its inside the 2.6.1 zip, just like all the other files ??

    hmm. must be blind. Ok done that, but still no joy ??
