wp-config.php file not found (2 posts)

    I get message "There doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this..." when running hostname/blog/wp-admin/install.php. I'm sure wp-config.php is in the hostname/blog directory.

    The file_exists('../wp-config.php') doesn't seem to work unless ../ is deleted or changed into ./. In that case and after copying wp-config.php I get other errors as expected. Any idea?

    Querying my provider I found out PHP runs in a safe mode, prohibiting going up in directories (i.e. ../). The only solution is to change the code (lot of work) or switch from provider.

    So... next version?
