I have installed XAMPP for Windows 5.5.35 on my local machine and have copied wordpress 4.5.2 in the htdocs/sass-wp folder. the error I am getting is:
Warning: require(C:\xampp\htdocs\sass-wp/wp-includes/load.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\sass-wp\wp-settings.php on line 21 Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'C:\xampp\htdocs\sass-wp/wp-includes/load.php' (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\sass-wp\wp-settings.php on line 21
I have looked at the following question on stackoverflow: PHP - Failed to open stream : No such file or directory which indicates that my problem is to do with paths, relative and absolute. As I am a beginner with PHP and xampp I am not sure where to apply the fixes.
Here is the code on line 21
define( 'WPINC', 'wp-includes' );
// Include files required for initialization.
require( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/load.php' );
require( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/default-constants.php' );
thanks
