Weird, still can’t get in.
what blog did you upgrade? The one in your profile indicates its at 2.2.2 still.
The blog in your profile is version 2.2.2. Is there a different blog that we could see this issue in action?
Have you cleared cookies and cache in your browser?

I win!! 🙂 god knows these days its good to win at something :O
The blog I upgraded is the one listed in my profile. Clearing cookies didn’t work.
welp, it says 2.2.2 so that means you missed some files, at the very least.
I just uploaded everything again in the upgrade folder save for the plug-ins and themes in the content folder. It still says I’m at 2.22 and I’m still getting the wp-config.php error. It seems to want there to be a wp-congif.php file in the admin folder, but I don’t think i’ve ever had one there before. I only have one of those files in the main section of my blog files. I tried uploading the wp-config.php file I have into the admin folder and was greeted with this error when going to the admin screen:
WordPress database error: [Table ‘liepaper_wp_1.wp_terms’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT t.*, tt.*, tr.object_id FROM wp_terms AS t INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS tt ON tt.term_id = t.term_id INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships AS tr ON tr.term_taxonomy_id = tt.term_taxonomy_id WHERE tt.taxonomy IN (‘category’, ‘post_tag’) AND tr.object_id IN (175, 174, 173, 172, 171, 170, 169, 168, 167, 166) ORDER BY t.name ASC
I deleted it and now I’m back to the “There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file” error.
heres an important question:
1. are you using any caching? Yes/No
If you are not than however you are uploading the files isnt working — plain and simple.
wp-includes/version.php holds the version and is responsible for what both handy and I see.
If youre not uploading that file properly, youre not uploading the others properly either.
In other words, delete your old files, save your theme files, and upload the new 2.3.x files. It might even be in your best interest to edit the NEW wp-config.php ahd upload the new copy. There were changes to that file.
Ok, I went through and got rid of a bunch of unnecessary files, re-uploaded the new verison, and now I am presented with this when trying to access my site:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: stripos() in /home/liepaper/public_html/blog/wp-includes/query.php on line 37
stripos() is defined inside wp-includes/compat.php .. did you upload a fresh copy of that file?
you should be able to look at line 144 of that file and see it there.
Yep, the combat.php file is the latest one.
I located where it mentions stripos() in that file, but I’m not sure what to do next.
Ok, did one more last mass upload and everything is good now, somehow. Thanks for your help.
I, too, had this problem. It was because I hadn’t deleted the files, but overwritten them.
Deletion is the key!
