 * Hi,
 * I’m installing a new wordpress site. For the moment I want to install it in a
   subdirectory of a wp site I already created.
 * I adjusted the wp-config.php file, saved it. And when I try to run the install.
   php via the browser I get these 2 errors:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_cache_get() in /home/kbonne/public_html/
   test-wp/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1131
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_cache_close() in /home/kbonne/public_html/
   test-wp/wp-includes/load.php on line 581
 * Anyone an idea of what I did wrong? I read in other topics the w3 super cache
   plugin could cause this. I had this plugin on the main wp website, but I already
   deleted it.
 * On the main directory I have the woo shopkeeper theme by solostream.

 * So you’re installing a new WordPress site in a sub-directory of where WordPress
   is already installed?
 * Is the main site installed in the root of your site and the new one will go in**
   test-wp**?

 * Well, the main site (www.flofashion.be) is installed in public_html. In the public_html
   I made another directory called test-wp where I would like to install the new
   site (to start it up).
 * So I installed the new wordpress in /public_html/test-wp/
 * edit; thanks for the response btw!

 * Hi abotimon,
 * I am installing wordpress on my local computer for development purposes. I am
   facing the exact same problem that you faced and solved successfully. The errors
   I am getting, while launching [http://localhost/wp-admin/install.php](http://localhost/wp-admin/install.php)
   are as follows:
 * PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_cache_get() in C:\Apache24\htdocs\
   wp-includes\functions.php on line 1202
 * PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_cache_close() in C:\Apache24\htdocs\
   wp-includes\load.php on line 574
 * I was glad to see that you have resolved it. Can you please guide me with what
   exact rectifying steps did you take to solve the problem?
 * Thanks in advance buddy!

 * Hello,
 * Yes, I remember this. Well I solved it by deleting everything and installing 
   again.. So nothing spectacular.
 * I don’t know if that’s a big help for you.
 * Hope you get your WP up and running!
