Hi there,
I've tried to install the new wp v2.7 but all I've tried seems to fail.

Even I start the installation to create a config file, wp reads my absolute
paths wrong.
They're like ../internetmajors.com/httpdocs and wp try to allocate wp-config
in ../internetmajors.com/

So I editet wp-load to

---
if ( file_exists( DOCUMENT_ROOT . '/httpdocs/wp-config.php') ) {

	/** The config file resides in ABSPATH */
	require_once( DOCUMENT_ROOT . '/httpdocs/wp-config.php' );

} elseif ( file_exists( dirname(DOCUMENT_ROOT) . '/httpdocs/wp-config.php' )
) {

	/** The config file resides one level below DOCUMENT_ROOT */
	require_once( dirname(DOCUMENT_ROOT) . '/httpdocs/wp-config.php' );
---

---
if ( file_exists( DOCUMENT_ROOT . '/wp-config.php') ) {

	/** The config file resides in ABSPATH */
	require_once( DOCUMENT_ROOT . '/wp-config.php' );

} elseif ( file_exists( dirname(DOCUMENT_ROOT) . '/wp-config.php' ) ) {

	/** The config file resides one level below DOCUMENT_ROOT */
	require_once( dirname(DOCUMENT_ROOT) . '/wp-config.php' );
---

(same with ABSPATH)

So I created a config file and copied into httpdocs, and the installation
can be started. But after finishing it, I always get a 'Connection failed'
error, like a server is down.

Someone know how to change the absolute paths? WP v2.6 works.
