• I have had to do a manual upgrade and get the following error trying to view the site: Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php’) in /homepages/26/d282309944/htdocs/htrchurch/index.php on line 17. I am able to get into the Dashboard just fine, but that’s as far as I get.

  • Make sure that the file wp-blog-header.php is present in “htrchurch” folder.

    I haven’t had a chance to retry the upgrade, but where else would this file be if it is in the upgrade files?

    The file should be in “htrchurch” folder.

    I have what appears to be the same issue. After upgrade attempt I am able to access the administration pages and everything appears to be there, but when I click “visit site” I get the following:

    Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php’) in /homepages/35/d236091845/htdocs/actforamerica92253.org/index.php on line 17

    I am unable to understand what this fatal error message is saying or what I can do about it. And the solution I find on this forum does not work for me.

    I am using Fetch as my FTP. Apparently I have messed up the file in Fetch that would enable me to open the web site. Since I have tried so many options, I’m not certain what is where. Should I create a new Fetch folder and put my backup WordPress file in that and try to work from that?

    One forum writer instructs to:
    “Make sure that the file wp-blog-header.php is present in “htrchurch” folder.” 


    I don’t know how to do this.

    WHO MIGHT HELP?

    i updated a 3.1 version and i get this message “Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.;./includes;./pear’) in D:\inetpub\”. With dashboard no problem but the index page not work.

    Actualicé a la versión 3.1 y en la página inicial obtengo este mensaje “Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.;./includes;./pear’) in D:\inetpub\” . El escritorio funciona bien.

    it work if changes require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’); in index.php by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’);

    i dont understant it, because i have others blogs (with older version and its works without the change)

    Vamos, que tras actualizar se ha roto y lo he tenido que arreglar a mano.

    Please post a new topic.
