 * Can anyone help?
 * Something went wrong on Friday and we are stuggling to fix it.
 * We get a http error 500 everywhere and cannot log in to the dashboard.
 * I’ve tried manually disabling all plugins, renaming the theme we use (Melos Pro)
   and renaming the .htaccess file as per the advice I’ve found but am getting nowhere.
 * On the error log we get:
 * PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required ‘/home/sites/gagah.co.uk/
   public_html/AAA/wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/pear53:/usr/share/
   php:/usr/share/ZendFramework’) in /home/sites/gagah.co.uk/public_html/index.php
   on line 17: /home/sites/gagah.co.uk/public_html/index.php
 * Does anyone have any advice? I am floundering around desperately trying to avoid
   losing all my recent work if we resort to using a back up tomorrow.
 * Nobody claims to have run any updates, we’ve just been adding page content.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhttp-error-500-wp-blog-header-php-issue%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Does that file exist? `/home/sites/gagah.co.uk/public_html/AAA/wp-blog-header.
   php`
 * Assuming your WordPress install is in the AAA directory, of course.
 * If the file is not there, try a manual update of WordPress to push out a new 
   set of files: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update](https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)
 * If that fixes things, then you need to figure out how the file(s) got deleted
   on Friday.
