Let's try that again...

die("There doesn't seem to be a <code>wp-config.php</code> file.

is *always* executed because it's not part of any "if" statement (that I can see from the code provided anyway).

  <?php
  if (! isset($wp_did_header)):
  if ( !file_exists( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-config.php') ) {
  if ( strstr( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'wp-admin') ) $path = '';
  else $path = 'wp-admin/';
      die("There doesn't seem to be a <code>wp-config.php</code> file.

  The line in bold is always getting executed (it's doesn't seem to be part if any conditional structure).

    Someone has emailed me because they are getting the message "There
    doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get
    started." when they try to view the blog.
    But they can access all aspects of admin just fine.
    I don't know who the host is but given the number of forum posts that
    would not seem to be a factor.

    I've gone through their install and cannot see anything at all that
    seems to be wrong - and if something _was_ wrong, surely admin wouldn't
    work either ?

    The forums give a nil return on answers and from reading threads it's
    obviously very frustrating for both parties.

    I've tried moving things about in wp-blog-header.php without success.
    Anyone got any clues where I can start poking ? Solutions will of course
    be posted to Codex.

    Thanks,

    P.
