 * This WordPress site I’m working on works fine, but there’s one image uploading
   tool in the dashboard that the previous person taking care of it created/installed
   that I get this error message where it’s interface should be. This happened when
   we moved the site. I don’t know anything about the image uploading thing but 
   I assume the error message is generic will speak for itself:
 * >  Warning: require_once(./wp-settings.php) [function.require-once]: failed to
   > open stream: No such file or directory in /home1/worldcl7/public_html/blog/
   > wp-config.php on line 80
   > Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./
   > wp-settings.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib64/php’) in /home1/worldcl7/public_html/
   > blog/wp-config.php on line 80
 * Line 80 being the “require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);” line. The other
   lines pertaining to ABSPATH might be relevant so:
 * >  /** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
   >  if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’))
   > define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(‘__FILE__’) . ‘/’);
   > /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
   >  require_once(ABSPATH . ‘
   > wp-settings.php’);
 * Any idea what the issue is? There’s really nothing wrong with any other part 
   of the site, only this one thing seems to take issue with ABSPATH.

 * It’s there though, where it should be. Is it looking in the wrong place perhaps?

 * It might be there but have the wrong permissions.
