Links only work in IE

I just barely installed Serendipity for the first time. At the bottom of the admin area it says "Powered by Serendipity 1.0 and PHP 4.4.7". So, I guess I am on version 1.0? Anyway, it was an automatic install from my host so I thought I would give it a whirl. Well, it works great from IE 7 but Firefox and Safari don't see the full pah of certain links. For example, if I want to get into the admin area using the link on the homepage of the blog, IE goes to: http://mydomain.com///index.php?/admin and it works fine. But from Firefox and Safari, it goes to the URL: http//index.php?/admin. It leaves out the "mydomain.com" completely. Anyone know why this is. Let me know. Thanks.

noticed that version1.3 is available for download. How does one go about upgrading? Just ftp the files up and overwrite everything or what?

Hi!

The issue you describe can happen if inside your s9y configuration you entered multiple "/" in the path configuration?

Yes, that's right. Also in our FAQ we have detailed upgrade pointers on www.s9y.org

Bingo, I was able to upgrade to version 1.3 and the problem was still happening. I changed the "relative pah" from "///" to just "/" and it is now workin fine from all browsers. Thanks for your response.
