installation wizard issues

[zeshanb]

On line 825 of sodium_compat.php please use the underscore when referencing constants.php because constants.php filename begins with a underscore "_constants.php". Thank You.

By doing so the installation wizard will function properly for first time WordPress Installations. Thank you very much.

require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/_constants.php';

Hi there, and thank you for opening a ticket!

I had a quick look, and although this is an external library (maintained at ​https://github.com/paragonie/sodium_compat), the file you specified does not exist in a fresh download of WordPress, where it is named without an underscore as expected.

It is possible you've got an invalid download from somewhere, but the official download from ​WordPress.org/download/ looks fine.

I am going to mark this as invalid as a workflow keyword, since the source code, and a fresh downloads look fine, but if you do find something indicative of something wrong from the WordPress side of it, you can of course still provide that information in this ticket and the status can be changed if need be.

Thank you for confirming the original archive didn't have a underscore in beginning of the file name.

It was a issue with nchsoftware's express zip. Their program was renaming the file with underscore in your tar zip distribution. I downloaded a regular zip archive distribution of WordPress and issue was resolved.

require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/_constants.php';

I reported the bug to nchsoftware - bug number 1667822048 on 12/20/2020.
