 * Hey Guys, I’m re-designing & updating a WP site for a client. I deleted the old
   Wp install via FTP and uploaded WP 4.0. I then went through and configured the
   wp-config file to match the MySQL data.
 * When I try to proceed with the instal (www.afterdarkseries.com/wp-admin/install.
   php) I get this error.
 * Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘D:\Inetpub\
   afterdarkseries/wp-load.php’ (include_path=’.;c:\PHP5′) in D:\Inetpub\afterdarkseries\
   wp-admin\install.php on line 36
 * I looked up the file directory it’s referring to and got this.
 * `require_once( dirname( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . '/wp-load.php' );`
 * Any thoughts?

 * Try downloading a fresh copy of WordPress from the Download tab at the top of
   this page, extract the files, then reupload the files to your host.
    Read the
   [Manual Update ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)
   directions first! Also, make sure you are using ASCII transfer mode in your FTP
   client.
 * If you have an .htaccess file, that too could be causing the problem–rename that
   if necessary.

 * Okay I re-installed everything, & used ASCII. This time it’s letting me access
   the afterdarkseries.com/wp-admin/install.php page to setup the wp-config.php
 * But, when I fill out the info it sends me to a list of errors…

 * Is your site on a local or a remote server?
 * If on remote server, you may want to discuss with your hosting provider.
