 * Hi
    I was trying to move my blog to the root of my website. That didn’t work 
   so I tried to restore, which worked partially – in that I can now see one of 
   the pages, but when I click on any links I get this error message:
 *     ```
       Warning: require(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/index.php on line 17
   
       Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required './wp-blog-header.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/index.php on line 17
       ```
   
 * Is there a quick fix?
    thanks

 * Hi – I am having a similar problem. I have checked and rechecked all my files
   after attempting to unsuccessfully move my directory, I basically stepped backwards
   and put it back to where it was.
 * Now whilst I can get into the admin I cannot get the site homepage live? Any 
   suggestions, this is my first time installing wordpress.

 * I too have the same problem.
    I have 1 site in the root and 3 subsites in 3 subfolders.
   All WP 2.7.1
 * Only the one in the root is giving problems..
    I have copied all the files except
   the wp-config file from on the of the subfolders and replaced the files in the
   root.. still not solved.
 * I have multiple sites out there but this is the 1st time I’ve seen this issue.
