 * At one of my sites, the siteurl information in myphpadmin is wrong. It keeps 
   changing it to [http://educ.os42.com/cgi-system](http://educ.os42.com/cgi-system)
   when it should only be [http://educ.os42.com](http://educ.os42.com)
 * This makes the site a complete mess with no css working, so I change it and it
   works as it should until I try and access my admin panel [which is also without
   css] and then it changes it back to [http://educ.os42.com/cgi-system](http://educ.os42.com/cgi-system)
 * I have just switched to DreamHost and Podz has suggested that maybe it is related
   to the fact that they run PHP as CGI
 * If anyone has any suggestions it would be great to hear from you.

   problems.

 * Yes an old nightly Ryan. I will upgrade to 1.5 Strayhorn and see if it resolves
   the issue.
