 * Hi Everyone,
    I’ve been building a killer WP site for 2 months. Today I had a
   notice to update to the newest version on my server so I “updated”.
 * Now my site doesn’t work and I have no knowledge why, and I dont understand php.
   Can anyone offer a solution. I do not have the site backed up (never again).
 * The error reads:
    Error: Update failed: Non-zero exit status returned by script.
   Output stream: ‘PHP Warning: require(../wp-load.php): failed to open stream: 
   No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/ip-50-63-154-161.ip.secureserver.
   net/flsk8/wp-admin/upgrade.php on line 18 PHP Warning: require(../wp-load.php):
