 * Today is a day when I want to change careers.
 * The index.php file at the main level has the following line:
 * `require('./wp-blog-header.php');`
 * Based on some inserted text, I discerned that the wp-blog-header.php file was
   not being found. So, on a whim, I took out the “./” and the site started working
   again.
 * My strong feeling is that this is an issue with the environment in which wordpress
   is installed. Does anyone else agree?
 * One thing to note, is that we’re dealing with a Windows web server running IIS
   6.
 * In any event, this issue is closed. If someone can definitively tell me how to
   fix this issue (so that the provided path to the file will work), I will be indebted
   to you. Otherwise, this thread is ended.

 * I checked the webserver logs — there are no errors. I did get a database error
   on upgrade related to options not having a default value.
 * Note that the main page of my website shows blank and when I do a view source,
   I get the following.
 *     ```
       <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

 * Thanks for the replies.
 * I changed to the classic theme before upgrading. This should have resolved that
   issue (I think).
 * I disabled and even deleted all extra plugins (there was only 1) before the upgrade.
 * What error logs are we referring to? The webserver logs?

 * Version is wrong in title. It’s going from 2.1.3 to 2.2 (latest).
 * Thanks for the reply. I tried changing to the default theme — no difference. 
   I also deactived all plugins before upgrading.
 * DO you truly just copy the files over the top of the existing files?
 * I also tried the extended upgrade instructions — no good.
