# Bootstrap Not Working

 * I’m trying to get WordPress to run in Bootstrap mode with the following require_once
   function:
 * `require_once('/full/path/to/the/wordpress/folder/wp-blog-header.php');`
 * I’ve tried to include other scripts like the wp-config.php file but they all 
   redirect me to /wp-admin/install.php, which displays a ‘Already Installed’ message.
   The site and admin are running perfectly fine.
 * I’m using WordPress version 3.0.3

 * Bootstrap mode doesn’t liked to be called within a PHP5 Class

 * The wp_insert_user() function is used within the PHP5 Class, the require files
   are above the PHP5 class

 * My code looks like the one you posted, but is within my php class and after the
   first include i got redirected to ./wp-admin/install.php
 * I was wondering if you found out a solution to do that inside a class..
 * I can not require wp bootstrap before initialize my class, becose some plugin
   my customer is using interfere to some path I use returning 404.
 * After some research, i found this other way:
 *     ```
       [inside my class]
       public function do_something_wp($data)
       {
           include(MYWP_PATH . 'wp-settings.php');
           $wp->initialize();
           wp_insert_user($data['user'], $data['passwd'], $data['email']);
       }
       ```
   
 * but i get the same result of the previous bootstrap.
 * I wonder why this happens just while using a class…
