Joomla Error: public_html/includes/joomla.php on line 71
If you Joomla show this error:
Warning: main(home/xxxxx/public_html/includes/version.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxxx/public_html/includes/joomla.php on line 71
Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘home/xxxxx/public_html/includes/version.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/xxxxx/public_html/includes/joomla.p
This error occurs because incorrect absolute path. To fix it, goto Joomla installation diretory and open configuration.php. Then make sure you have set a right value:
$mosConfig_absolute_path = '/home/[cpanel_username]/public_html';
NOT
$mosConfig_absolute_path = 'home/[cpanel_username]/public_html';

Worked for me… Great Advice.
Thanks
You have just saved me hours, maybe days. I would have got there in the end, but thanks very much.
I have also moved hosting company and set mine up as a sub-directory of an existing website. Just as an extra. Go to your existing website, ssh on and do a pwd. Do the same on the new website and then you can see what to change it to in the configuration.php
Spent 2 hours to fix this problem! Thank you!
Great advice. had ran website with no problems for 8 months and somehting changed. I fixed the absolute path (deleted a folder) and it started working again. Took me a while to find this post but I am glad I did.
