    Hi:

    I got this message after installing Worpress and trying to set it up. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Are you using APC by any chance.

    If so, the quick fix would be to find this code in wp-admin/index.php:

    require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php’);

    and replace it with:

    require_once(‘./includes/dashboard.php’);

    This should solve the problem.

    But It is not recommended to change code that is bound to be overwritten at every WordPress upgrade, so instead I suggest tweaked APC by adding the following line to the configuration:

    apc.include_once_override=0

    This tells APC not to optimize include_once.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I’m not using APC.
    Line 15 currently reads:

    require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/wp-blog-header.php’ );

    Any further thoughts appreciated.

    @xicoofficial,

    Thanks for helping out 🙂

    If so, the quick fix would be to find this code in wp-admin/index.php:

    – As the adage goes, don’t modify core files (unless you know what you are doing in there and are aware of the limitations and drawbacks this imposes). Modifications can cause:
    security risks,
    performance degradation,
    broken plugins/themes,
    of course, you will lose all changes when you next update the WordPress, etc.

    @tuiwavecommsconz,

    Try MANUALLY updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading the new ones. Please read the Manual Update directions first.
