 * i have more than one blog so i will symlink the wp-admin folder but for this 
   i must patch the wp-admin/admin.php file
 * the problem is that the ABSPATH constant is not defined a this point.
 *     ```
       Index: wp-admin/admin.php

 * As per the stickies, please don’t post code here in the forums unless asked to
   as it normally doesn’t show correctly.
 * Patches should go to [http://trac.wordpress.org](http://trac.wordpress.org) by
   the way so that the developers can be made aware of it.
 * Thanks
