 * Do you think that an upgrade of the PHP installation could solve the problem?
   
   I have found indications stating that there has been a change in the dirname 
   functions behaviour after version 4.3.0. I will ask my ISP to upgrade the PHP
   installation (hoping they are willing) to see if this could solve the problem.`
   <?php //before PHP 4.3.0 dirname('c:/'); // returned '.' //after PHP 4.3.0 dirname('
   c:/'); // returns 'c:' ?> I found this piece of information at: [http://se.php.net/.](http://se.php.net/.)

 * I tried to install the newest wordpress I could get a hold on (2004-09-19).
    
   I still needed to change the `define ('ABSPATH' ....` in the wp-config.php to
   my wordpress directory for the installation to work. But the same problem exists,
   I get the following message when I log in: `Fatal error: Failed opening required'//
   wp-config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in //wp-includes/wp-l10n.
   php on line 4` Will I need to go through all PHP-code to change out the `dirname(
   __FILE__)` within all path definitions, or is there some other solution? // Anders.
