Comment:

 Hi @Benjamin_Zekavica, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

 In #44480 you mention creating a `wp-config.php` file. Does the issue
 happen with the file you've created manually, or with the file created by
 the WordPress installer?

 I can only reproduce the error if I create a file without the necessary
 lines at the end, see [source:tags/4.9.6/wp-config-
 sample.php?marks=84-89#L84 wp-config-sample.php]:
 {{{
 /** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
 if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
         define( 'ABSPATH', dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/' );
 }

 /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
 require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php' );
 }}}
 Could you make sure these lines are present in your `wp-config.php` file?
