Upgrade to WP 1.5.1

Tuesday, May 10th, 2005

Well, I have upgraded to Wordpress 1.5.1 and all was well until you tried to post a comment. This was pointed out by David earlier today. The problem was in the index.php file. It had the following line:
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
Well, on the Dreamhost servers that was causing a fit. So, since I knew that the file would always be in the same folder as the index.php file I just altered the line to read:
require('wp-blog-header.php');
All I did was take out the ./ for the relative path to the file. I think it’s silly to have it there in the first place, but oh well. Now it works and you can post comments again.

Update: I’ve let the DH dev team know and they are looking into it.

Both comments and pings are currently closed.

    Would you mind contacting Dreamhost support about this? Since they install WP I would hope it works better out of the box. Drop me an email with what you hear back.

    Yeah, it’s a bug, but by editing this post and making this comment hopefully it fixes all of the problems.
