One line mistake

Okay, the engineers that came before me left a problem in the code. It is a simple problem to fix. It is a one line fix. But the problem was copied over and over again. Now I must fix 21 different sites.

This involves copying the code back and forth. Making loads of virtual directories so I can even rebuild the sites. And trying to stick by the bad versioning system set up by my predecessors. It is just keeping a copy of every version in some directory. Old versions get cleaned up when we run out of space. And the version used gets copied to a 'live' directory. And the multiple strange versions with Ds, _s, Exs, and whatever after them.

So frustrating!!! This should take 5 minutes not all day!!!
