setting up wordpress in freebsd 10.1 with apache24, php56 and mysql56
Hi:
I have followed the instructions for your freebsd tutorials. I have set up apache24, and I can see the “It works” page. I am trying to set up wordpress. I have follwed this tutorial:
When I go to the site to setup wordpress, I get a blank page, and this error message in httpd-error.log:
Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required ‘xxx/wp-includes/load.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/share/pear’) in xxx/wp-settings.php on line 21
My complete installation is from ports.
Thanks
PD: I did delete the “it works” file

Hi! The first thing I would check are the file permissions on
wp-includes/load.phpDoes thewwwuser have access to it?I ended up rebuilding php56. I think the issue was the links to modules and dependencies. I then also rebuild apache24 and it worked. Now I am having a different problem.
I upgraded to apache 2.4.12 release, and now I get the 403 forbidden error, you don’t have permission to access /
???
Thanks for your reply:
yes.
It has to do with apache itself. It is attempting to server from ServerRoot, rather than from DocumentRoot.
I figured it out by temporarily changing this:
<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all denied
</Directory>
to this:
<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all granted
</Directory>
and adding the it works index.html file to it. then I went to the browser and entered:
http://www.mysite.com/
http://www.mysite.com/index.html
and of course “It worked”
I have gone over this over and over and can’t figure it out. Why is apache ignoring my main server configuration?
