My last post too…promise…cuz I figured it out!!! The wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes files need to be in the public_html directory DIRECTLY…they were in the public_html/wordpress/ file. But it works! Yeah! Thanks for your help!

I didn’t change any code. I put the one perm back to the way it was and tried moving just the compat.php file over to the public_html/wp-includes file. When I look at my file manager on my server in the public_html/ file, wp-includes does not appear in there anywhere.

What I’ve done so far with no luck:

All my perms were set to 0644 except for the main wordpress directory so I changed that one.

I cleared my cookies and my browser cache, closed and reopened my browser.

My guess is it’s that file on line 203. I know WHERE to change it, but not the exact coding.

@musnake
a little more info for you…

This

require (ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/compat.php’);

is on line 203 in wp-setting.php on my server.

@musnake

does that file exist on your server: /public_html/wp-includes/compat.php?

Not as far as I can tell. I looked for it on line 203 in wp-settings and it doesn’t show that specific wording.

(I’m sort of new at all of this, just so you know)

Try ftp’ing it over again.

I’ve ftp’d it over like 4 times…nada

Also, check that the permissions on it are 0644.

Where and how do i do this?

>Delete cookies from your browser.
>Delete browser cache.
>Close browser then re-open and try again.

I will do these things after I figure out the permissions thing.

Is this a fresh install for you or an upgrade?

Well, it started out as an upgrade, but when all was going wrong, I deleted all my wordpress files on my computer and on my server, and just uploaded the new version to my server.

I will check this out too!

Thanks for trying to help me out!

I installed 2.6.3 as directed and get the following errors on the install page. Can anyone help me with this?

Warning: require(/home/provbsco/public_html/wp-includes/compat.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/provbsco/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 203
