 * ABSPATH is defined in the file wp-config.php. Can you post the last few lines
   of wp-config.php?
 * I also suggest to contact your hosting tech support and ask them to verify that
   PHP is operating correctly.

       /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */
   
       /** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
       if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
       	define( 'ABSPATH', __DIR__ . '/' );
       }
   
       /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
       require_once ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php';

    I tried on different hosting,
   switched php versions 7.4 to 7.2, everywhere, when accessing wp-settings.hph 
   from address bar – this error occurs. Haven’t tried on local machine only. You
   not have this problem when open yousite.com/wp-settings.php?

   if this is a problem in PHP, then what needs to be configured to solve it? Any
   ideas?

 * No one is supposed to access that URL (it loads blank). There might be a couple
   of things such as:
 * -Issues with PHP upgrade
    -htaccess setting a different version of PHP -host 
   using a different version of PHP on your site -using an old version of php

 * On web srver i try change php 7.4, 7.2, 5.6.
    Htaccess – defoult wordprees. On
   local machine i installed xampp with php 7.4. Everywhere there is a mistake, 
   i don’t think that in all cases php is to blame. Is it really only one i have
   such a problem?

 * I’m having a similar issue in wp-settings on all of my websites, including a 
   fresh install. Were you able to figure out the cause?
