I am running xampp, and I want to have multiple websites in the htdocs folder. When I just install Wordpress into the htdocs folder, it works fine. However, when I clone (from github) a pre-existing build of wordpress and place it into the htdocs folder (ex - htdocs/somesite.com) I cannot access it.
I get an error of:
Warning: require(C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite.com/wp-includes/load.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite.com\wp-settings.php on line 21
Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite.com/wp-includes/load.php' (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite.com\wp-settings.php on line 21
I am confused on two things:
- I see the file there that is SAYS is missing in the directory. This I have triple and quadruple checked. I also do not understand the reference to the c:\xampp\php\PEAR path
- I also do not know whether or not there are problems coming from the fact that the slashes between directories changing direction are causing the problem. Like why are they starting off with the "\" but then going to "/" after the "mysite.com".
This is the second time I have run into this problem. What am I doing wrong?
