Description
In a freshly emerged copy of wp2.1, there's no wp-config.php file. Traditionally, when a user visits the blog in this state, the 5 minute installer takes over, linking the user to /wordpress/wp-admin/setup-config.php.
- As of [4307], this uses wp_die()
- As of [4259], wp_die() uses language_attributes() in the <html> tag
- language_attributes() is in source:/trunk/wp-includes/general-template.php@4376#L876
- general-template.php is require_once()'d by source:/trunk/wp-settings.php@4376#L147
- wp-settings.php is require_once()'d by wp-config.php
If wp-config.php does not exist, wp_die() cannot output language_attributes, and throws a PHP Fatal error instead of displaying the useful error message. Depending on PHP config, the user is left with a blank screen, or the error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function language_attributes() in /Users/alan/Sites/wp21/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1112
I suggest that wp_die() failures to this degree don't bother outputting language information, and just continue on to dumping the error message and die().
