 * I get the following errors when trying to login in to WP:
    Warning: main(./wp-
   blog-header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mysite/
   public_html/wp-admin/index.php on line 3 Warning: main(./wp-blog-header.php):
   failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mysite/public_html/
   wp-admin/index.php on line 3 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘./
   wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/
   mysite/public_html/wp-admin/index.php on line 3 I don’t know what could be missing.
   I was able to work in wordpress last night without any problem. Please help.

 * The error is saying that when index.php tries to find the file wp-blog-header,
   it’s not there.
    Did you install into two directories, and when you last worked
   on it, what did you alter ?

 * I was working with the index.php last night. All seemed well. Where should wp-
   blog-header be?

 * In the same directory as index.php
    If it *was* working, and it isn’t now, then
   you must have altered something somewhere … check the URI’s in Options-General

 * I have an index.php in the wp-admin folder and one in the public_html folder.
   Does that seem correct?
    I’m thinking the index.php in wp-admin shouldn’t be 
   there since the the wp-blog-header is in the public_html folder. So I removed
   the index.php from the wp-admin folder and I got this error: Forbidden You don’t
   have permission to access /wp-admin/ on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not 
   Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the
   request. ——————————————————————————– Apache/1.3.31 Server at [http://www.gldnspce.com](http://www.gldnspce.com)

 * Are you suggesting I check the URI’s in WP? I would if I could log in–that’s 
   the problem. 🙁
    Thank you for helping me. I’m new to all this and it’s been 
   frustrating trying to get things working. Just when I think I’m making progress,
   new problems arise.

 * wp-admin *must* have an index.php inside it.

 * ok, the wp-admin index is different from my blog index, correct? I think I may
   have replaced the wp-admin index with the blog index. Is there a way for me to
   get a copy of just the wp-index?

 * If you have the original download of WP, upload the correct index.php to /wp-
   admin
    If those files are there, I can’t see what has gone wrong …..

 * Podz, it was the index in the wp-admin. Thank you for helping me work through
   it! It’s greatly appreciated! Have a great day. 🙂
