    I’m seeing this as well. Haven’t figured it out yet. How did you?

    There’s this post too, but not much help.

    I upgraded from 2.2.2 to 2.3.1 via Fantastico. And I’m seeing this error on every admin page. Doesn’t seem to affect anything, but it’s annoying.

    The odd thing is that my /wp-config.php in the root obviously exists. In my /wp-admin/install-helper.php is the correct path:

    require_once('../wp-config.php');

    It’s like the blog root isn’t resolving correctly.

    Got it resolved. Turned out to be a plugin problem, Subscribe2. There’s some discussion of it here.

    Turns out you have to change the path in install-helper.php from “../wp-config.php” to root. Works for me now.

    I agree with this. I uninstalled Subscribe 2 and the error went away. Thanks for posting!
