Blog has been upgraded to WordPress v2.9

I have updated my blog to WordPress v2.9 which was just released. I did the auto upgrade option again which seems to have worked well. Even so, once again I had to edit the /wp-includes/vars.php file to force $is_apache to true (see below) since the SERVER_SOFTWARE variable comes back as WebServerX instead of Apache.

// Server detection

/**
 * Whether the server software is Apache or something else
 * @global bool $is_apache
 */

//$is_apache = ((strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'Apache') !== false) || (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'LiteSpeed') !== false)) ? true : false;
$is_apache = true;
/**
 * Whether the server software is IIS or something else
 * @global bool $is_IIS
 */

$is_IIS = (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'Microsoft-IIS') !== false) ? true : false;

I also had to edit the /wp-login.php file and add session_start(); at the beginning for the Register Plus plug-in to work properly as PHP sessions are not automatically started:

session_start();
/**
 * WordPress User Page

Other than the modifications above, which I have always had to do, the upgrade went smoothly. ๐Ÿ™‚

Of course, I did perform a complete database and file backup before upgrading! ๐Ÿ™‚
