wp-config.php at another place than www root

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. move wp-config.php one level below your www directory. this is advised for 
security reasons
2. make a comment, it will spill something like: wp-config.php cannot be found 
at ../../../ , whereas ../../../ seems to be hardcoded but false in my case

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

the correct page telling the user that the comment was accepted

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

wp 3.01, sk2 2.2 r3

Please provide any additional information below.

Moving the wp-config.php out is mentioned here:

I cannot reproduce this error simply by moving wp-config.php up one level.  In 
fact that is how I run my site and have never had issues.

My site's setup:  in root directory public_html I have wp-config.php.  
WordPress files are within public_html/wp.  Entire site is run from WordPress.

Marking "invalid" for now.  If you can further identify the issue please do 
resubmit so we can track it down.

If this issue is valid, it will probably be fixed when fixing Issue 23.  As 23 
is a broader description, I'll mark this a dupe of that.

Interestingly, I just figured out why I could not replicate this bug.  Both 
wp-config.php and my wp-content are moved up one directory, so relative to each 
other they were unchanged.  Oops.

So... Issue 19 was entirely valid.  It just didn't happen on my particular 
install.
