 * I am doing an upgrade from 1.2 to 2.0.2. The first step I am taking is an upgrade
   to 1.5.
 * I have decide to do this by taking a copy of my database, and creating a second
   blog in a sub-directory.
 * The database is created and is ok. The sub-directory is created and I have uploaded
   1.5 into it. I have taken the config file and made sure that I have changed the
   database entries to point to a new database, and have also changed the line:
   
   require_once(ABSPATH.’./wp-settings.php’);
 * Now I know that this works because I have another setup like this for another
   blog I run, at another host.
 * So I run the upgrade step and it works. I then try to run:
    example.com/upgrade/
   wp-admin and it drops into the existing 1.2 admin page from the blog I am trying
   to upgrade from.
 * Please can some one help me out here.
 * As an aside I am using Firefox as a browser and trying to get the support site
   to work is a nightmare!

 * Check the site-url and home values in the copied database.

 * That has fixed it. Thanks very much. I shgould have thought of that myself, as
   I had problems with that on the other blog. I guess it was just too late at night
   for the old brain.
