# Install failure

 * Clean install of WP 4.8.1. New database.
 * I’ve done this a dozen times before without issue. Now I’m getting an errors:
 * Warning: require(/homepages/24/d238234564/htdocs/Boncratious/wp-includes/random_compat/
   random.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/24/
   d238234564/htdocs/Boncratious/wp-includes/compat.php on line 435
 * Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required ‘/homepages/24/d238234564/htdocs/
   Boncratious/wp-includes/random_compat/random.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php5.6′)
   in /homepages/24/d238234564/htdocs/Boncratious/wp-includes/compat.php on line
   435
 * Can’t figure out why. I completed the wp-config file properly (as far as I can
   tell). Hosting is at 1and1.com.
 * Any ideas to fix this problem?

 * Can you confirm that the file in question exists, and that its permissions are
   correct?

 * Yes. The file exists in the “wp-includes” folder. It’s size 17195.

 * The file it is looking for is `random.php` and should be located in `wp-includes/
   random_compat/` not `wp-includes`.

 * This is a core wordpress source file and shouldn’t be missing. Either you have
   a permissions issue as others have mentioned, or you are sitting on a broken 
   installation. I’d recommend reinstalling wordpress (after backing up existing
   source, of course) if latter is the case.
