Hi there,
\nI need to add a tiny bit of backstory here since I have made significant changes to the system my site is running on.<\/p>\n

I tested the checkout on my old server running Apache and PHP 5.4.
\nI have now transferred to a new server running CloudPanel on Debian 10 (NGINX) with PHP 7.4.<\/p>\n

After testing the checkout system today I was greeted with a message that said:
\n“It was not possible to process your order. Try again.” (translated from Dutch).<\/p>\n

I’ve checked the PHP logs and found a rather worrying error. Here it is:<\/p>\n

[04-Apr-2022 14:38:47 Europe\/Berlin] PHP Warning: require(ABSPATHWPINC\/option.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \/home\/cloudpanel\/htdocs\/dev.pctoppers.nl\/wp-includes\/functions.php on line 8\n[04-Apr-2022 14:38:47 Europe\/Berlin] PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'ABSPATHWPINC\/option.php' (include_path='.:\/usr\/share\/php') in \/home\/cloudpanel\/htdocs\/dev.pctoppers.nl\/wp-includes\/functions.php on line 8\n[04-Apr-2022 15:01:31 Europe\/Berlin] PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant ABSPATH - assumed 'ABSPATH' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in \/home\/cloudpanel\/htdocs\/dev.pctoppers.nl\/wp-settings.php on line 33\n[04-Apr-2022 15:01:31 Europe\/Berlin] PHP Warning: require(ABSPATHwp-includes\/version.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \/home\/cloudpanel\/htdocs\/dev.pctoppers.nl\/wp-settings.php on line 33\n[04-Apr-2022 15:01:31 Europe\/Berlin] PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'ABSPATHwp-includes\/version.php' (include_path='.:\/usr\/share\/php') in \/home\/cloudpanel\/htdocs\/dev.pctoppers.nl\/wp-settings.php on line 33<\/code><\/pre>\n
Here is my ABSPATH in the WP-config file:<\/p>\n
\/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. *\/\n\n\/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. *\/\nif ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {\n    define( 'ABSPATH', __DIR__ . '\/' );\n}\n\n\/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. *\/\nrequire_once ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php';<\/code><\/pre>\n
I don’t really see anything wrong with this. I have already tried the following things:
\n1. Rewrite all the permissions.
\n2. Deleted all files (except wp-config.php & \/wp-content) and uploaded from a clean download.
\n3. Disabled (except necessary plugins (WooCommerce, Elementor, JetWooBuilder)) all plugins.
\n4. Completely restarted the server.<\/p>\n
You can try adding a product in the cart and go to checkout and will see it does not work.<\/p>\n

Hopefully someone can help me I’ve been trying all day \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-15525418","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/15525418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/15525418\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15525418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
