# Admin page throwing error

 * I’ve installed WordPress and the site works correctly, but the admin page does
   not. I get the following error:
 *     ```
       Warning: require_once(./wp-load.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ./admin.php on line 30
   
       Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './wp-load.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/pear') in ./admin.php on line 30
       ```
   
 * I’ve seen where people say to add the ‘.’ to the /wp-load.php line in admin, 
   and that works until I need to run a plugin, then I get a separate error.
 * Anyone know what is causing this?

 * Try re-uploading all files & folders from a **fresh** download of WordPress.

 * Thanks for your response. I’ve re-installed about 3 times now. Still the same
   result every time.

 * There is no `admin.php` file in the root of a WordPress site.
