What version of WordPress are you using?
If 1.2.x, make sure wp-comments.php in in your blog’s root directory.
If 1.5, try changing line 55 in your index.php, which is probably something like:
<?php include(ABSPATH . 'wp-comments.php'); ?>
to:
<?php comments_template(); ?>
I had the equivalent of
Warning: main(/usr/www/users/mswart/blog/wp-comments.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/www/users/mswart/blog/index.php on line 55
after moving my 1.5 installation to a new server.
The tip solved the problem.
Thanks bunches!
Sorry I didn’t run with the same luck.
I’ve updated to WP1.5 and everything seems fine except for the comments. On my main page I receive an error message that says:
Warning: main(/var3/www/mywebsite/wordpress/wp-comments.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var3/www/mywebsite/index.php on line 30
what it is really strange is that the new WP1.5 doesnt comes with any wp-comments.php file. Does it?
By the way, this is the part of my code who brings up the comments:
<div class=”storycontent”>
<?php if ($p==0) {the_excerpt();} else {the_content(‘Read More…’);} ?>
</div>
<div class=”feedback”>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
<?php comments_popup_link(__(‘Comments (0)’), __(‘Comments (1)’), __(‘Comments (%)’)); ?>
</div>
<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template
No, WP 1.5.x doesn’t have a wp-comment.php file – that’s from the 1.2 era.
Did you follow this tutorial: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Upgrade_1.2_to_1.5 about making your old template into a 1.5 theme?
yes I did, indeed I have been able to manipulate all the WP1.5 new features quite well. As I told you everything is running fine except this error message.
Can you suspect about any common error?
Ooppps, now I realize I didn’t upgrade from 1.2 to 1.5….
now that I’ve already messed up upgrading from 1.2 to 2.0.1 directly should I upgrade to 1.5 and then to 2.0.1 ?
by the way… do you know where can I download the 1.5 version, I haven’t been able to find it in this site.
Do the upgrade in steps: 1.2 > 1.5 > 2.0.x
