Weird PHP issue
All of a sudden, any blog that has run fine for years, run into an error:

Warning: require(/sysblog/000000/wp-includes/class.wp-dependencies.php) [function.require]:
failed to open stream: no such file or directory in /sysblog/wp-includes/script-loader.php on
line 3

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required
'/sysblog/000000/wp-includes/class.wp-dependencies.php' (include_path='.:/php_root/000000') in
/sysblog/wp-includes/script-loader.php on line 3

This happened also on the Trips,Tracks and Travels blog, and that runs WP 263 (where thos blog uses WP 265).
If I would have changed something, it could be the result of that change. But I didn’t….

So I tried a different approach, since it might be a web-issue, and ran the blog immediately under PHP:
$ php :== $php_root:[bin]php
$ set def sysblog:[000000]
$ php index.php

and that gave exactly the same outcome.

Also checked the (no longer published but still present) Boorcamp blogs: same result.
What the heck was going on here?

Looking back – on line – when this could have started, I found the earliest:
...[30/Aug/2012:06:25:59 +0000] "GET /sysblog/index.php?p=333 HTTP/1.1" 200 767
and to look even further back, I have to cycle the access log….

So I mailed the WASD mailing list on the issue, and tried again to find out some more information, and accessed the Trips,Tracks and Tavels blog again.
BEHOLD: NO PROBLEM….
I again accessed the sysmgr blog (this one), and here as well, it all worked again like before. That is also shown in the access log:
...[30/Aug/2012:08:41:06 +0000] "GET /sysblog/index.php HTTP/1.1" 200 37951
Mind the last numer: the size of the reply…

Who knows the answer, please inform me…
It must be someting in the system – but what could it be?

(There is something not entirely right: because the admin pages seem to require a re-load. Even on posting. But that can be worked around)
