Ok, here is a hack that works!
Comment the line 28 (die) in wp-settings.php,
Comment the line 592 (DELETE FROM $tableoptions WHERE option_name = ‘comment_allowed_tags) in wp-admin\upgrade-functions.php
Upload wp-settings.php & upgrade-functions.php, run the normal install, ignore the errors displayed, run the upgrade.php.
uncomment the line 28 (die) in wp-settings.php & upload it again.
And you are good to go!!!
I got the same error for a fresh install of 1.0 on IIS. Commented line 28 (die) in wp-setting.php and proceeded with the install which created the tables and added default rows to the table.
Proceeed to login and it failed… with the error “get_settings: Didn’t find setting comment_allowed_tags”
Check the wp_options table and it seems that comment_allowed_tags was not added to the wp_options table, so I get the above error in every page.
Now when I try to login, I get redirected wp-admin, where I get the “Directory Listing Denied” coz the default page is default.asp in my IIS settings.
Question 1: Is there a script that I can run to add all the default options to the wp-options table?
Question 2: How do I login?
