# Dashboard Error – rss-functions.php

 * I recently installed WP 1.51 onto my site. The previos version installed was 
   1.5. Since the upgrade, my Dashboard has had an error involving the rss-functions.
   php. I tried deleting and reuploading rss-functions.php, but it didn’t help. 
   Here is the error:
 * Warning: main(/home/aurexoul/public_html/jacob/wp-includes/class-snoopy.php):
   failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/aurexoul/public_html/
   jacob/wp-includes/rss-functions.php on line 370
 * Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘/home/aurexoul/public_html/jacob/
   wp-includes/class-snoopy.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’)
   in /home/aurexoul/public_html/jacob/wp-includes/rss-functions.php on line 370
 * My site is at [http://jacob.aurexoul.com/](http://jacob.aurexoul.com/)

 * I can’t find any wordpress related rss feed on your site.
 * not the /feed permalink
    nor the wp-rss2.php
 * nothing.
 * try swapping the theme to the default and let’scheck again?

 * I switched over to the default theme. The error still shows up in the Admin area.

 * Ok, but it’s a little different on this end:
 * [http://jacob.aurexoul.com/wp-rss.php](http://jacob.aurexoul.com/wp-rss.php)
   
   and [http://jacob.aurexoul.com/wp-rss2.php](http://jacob.aurexoul.com/wp-rss2.php)
 * come back blank now, not “error”
 * but you are still getting 404 on the “/feed” page.
 * I’m no expert, but i suggest this:
 * 0. check to be sure you’re not blocking stuff with wonky permissions.
 * if everything checks out then:
 * 1. reinstall 1.5.1
 * delete the files, and then re uplod them.
    use a fresh download of the script.
 * run the update.php again too.
 * 2. perform this modification:

 * Also,
 * be sure your .htaccess file is writable and update your permalink structure.
 * then post something. anything new since the re install.
 * these are all the things i’ve done to get 8-9 installs of 1.5.1 working just 
   fine (as far as i can tell.)

   are alive also.
