wp-settings error failed to open stream

    I’ve been through a number of messages about this, none of them have resolved the issue. I’ve reinstalled wordpress, tried different plugins, chmod’d the entire site to 777 to no avail.

    There isn’t a single plugin that doesn’t throw this error. Below is after a clean install of the latest 2.7.1 code. I am attempting to install the plugin stats.1.4 which should be 100% compatible and from the following URL: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/

    According to the warnings, it’s trying to include the directory and not the file in wp-settings.php.

    Below are the warnings, is there a way to resolve this or do I have to backup to 2.6?

    I’ve deleted wordpress and the database twice. reinstalled 3 times since the last message.

    Is there anything related to PHP that could be affecting this? I’m installing wordpress 2.7.1, then installing the WordPress Stats plugin. I have tested other plugins and it’s all useless. I’ve tried many of the workaround I’ve read here and nothing it shaking it.

    I’d hate to have to downgrade, but 2.7.1 doesn’t seem like a viable candidate for me.

    I can tell you that chmodding files and dirs to 777 isnt a solution, and some servers will throw errors just by doing that alone.

    I realize that you indicate in the other thread, that you have other older installs that are working, but are you actually uploading the plugins properly?

    fwiw, compare this:

    http://www.very-now.com/public/wp-content/plugins

    to this:

    very-now.com/public/wp-content/plugins (without the www)

    whats in your .htaccess? what happens when you delete it or rename it? do you have any other .htaccess files laying around?

    whats your blog url set to?

    Neither of those links ought to redirect to your front page, and neither of those should be behaving like wordpress thinks there is a plugin file (something ending in .php in that dir)

    lastly, ‘downgrading’.. you want to run insecure web sites — i guess that’s your business.

    Thanks whooami, i actually decided to upgrade to 2.8 RC1 and everything is working perfectly. I’ve been testing various plugins and a premium theme I plan on using and it’s working much more smoothly.

    I still have no clue what the issue was with 2.7.1 I wish I had time to investigate deeper, there is always something to learn in these situations.

    Anyway, I do appreciate your response.
