Yesterday, I tried to auto-upgrade to WP 2.9. I pressed the respective button and Safari presented a new page indicating a download process. Unfortunately, the process suddenly finished – with no upgrade at all.
In case you try to auto-upgrade too, here is the way to manage the task anyway:
- - First, download the WP 2.9 upgrade archive file [download link]
- - Unpack the archive file to a local volume [your Mac OS X system unpacks automatically]
- - Start you FTP-client and connect to your WP virtual host [for Mac OS X, you might wish to download the FTP client Cyberduck]
- - Finally select all files within the archive and drag them to you FTP-client’s window
Now, it’s time to run the real upgrade process. Enter this URL
http://www.yourSiteName.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php
or, if WP is installed in a folder named e.g. myBlog, enter this URL
http://www.yourSiteName.com/myBlog/wp-admin/upgrade.php
At this point, you might end up with a blank page or one, which indicates a HTTP error 500. In this case, have a look at my previous post, which provides a solution regarding PHP setting of certain providers (namely 1&1).
After that, enter one of the above URLs again. WordPress should now present a small upgrade wizard, which explains the next steps to do. A typical upgrade process should finish within a few minutes (at least mine finished soon).
