[wp-hackers] Failing to find wp-config.php [s]

<?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).

  Subject: [wp-hackers] Failing to find wp-config.php


  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.
