2.7 beta Upgrade Issue?

If it’s this blog, https://www.longbeachsales.com/Blog/ it looks updated.

Did you do something to get it to complete?

Michael,

It is update. I tried updating on a different computer and it worked. Maybe it was my connection?

And yes, that is our blog.

I have the same problem.

I just installed 2.7 RC1 on one of my blogs and attempted the auto update for a nightly build.

I got the message:

‘WordPress upgraged successfully’

after all the other upgrading messages. But despite the apparent success, I still get this error message in yellow across the top of every dashboard page”

‘An automated WordPress update has failed to complete – please attempt the update again now’

I’ve attempted it seeral times now and keep getting the same result.

I’m self-hosted on an XP PC running apache/PHP etc. I’ve been running several WordPress blogs on this for years. The dashboard shows I’m running RC1-10041. I don’t know what build it was before I tried the upgrade.

My site is: https://www.daleisphere.com

Despite this, my site seems to be running just fine. Any way to get rid of the annoying yellow message if all is well?

You probably have a .maintenance file in the WordPress root/base folder so delete that.

Thanks Michael. I did have a .maintenance file there. Removing it solved the problem.

I just upgraded my root blog at https://www.daledietrich.com and the exact same thing happened. There was a .maintenance file there too. Removing it similarly solved the problem.

I have two more blogs to go.

Any idea where these files come from. Did I do something wrong? Is this a hangover somehow from my prior 2.5 installations.

Thanks so much.

The .maintenance file is put there by the auto upgrade (either core or plugins) but typically gets removed upon successful completion of the process.

I had that happen once this morning on a test blog running on a local XAMPP install but couldn’t duplicate the problem.

OK, this seems like some kind of a bug in the current RC1 that I should report somewhere. I’ll see if I can figure out where to report it.

Thanks Michael.

Every time I try to update the core, things seem to be working, and then the upgrade stops after “Unpacking the core update.”

Yes, I know three people will just tell me to update manually. But that hardly seems like a valid fix for this issue.

I’m a new user of 2.7 RC1. I attempted to use the “Tools–> Upgrade–> Upgrade Automatically” for the first time to grab RC2, but the process just hangs at “Downloading update from https://www.ads-software.com/nightly-builds/wordpress-latest.zip”. I only see a zero-filesize “wordpress-latest.zip” sitting in my wp-content directory.

However, a manual download produces a normal size “wordpress-latest” zip file.

Any thoughts why automatic upgrade is producing a zero-size zip file?

I see strange problem, I do Upgrade Automatically, and:
I see info:
Can’t copy file: ……/wp-content/upgrade/core/wordpress/wp-trackback.php

but
I repeat upgrade : error the same
so I repeat upgrade : error the same
I repeat upgrade and everything is OK,

I changed nothing between upgrade.

I’ve also got problems upgrading WP 2.7, be it WP itself or plugins. I’ve tested multiple versions of WP 2.7 and always get this error message:

Downloading update from https://www.ads-software.com/nightly-builds/wordpress-latest.zip

Unpacking the core update

Could not create directory: /public_html/public_html

Installation Failed

Why create a public_html folder within my public_html folder? I might add that upgrading plugins worked like a charm before 2.7.

I’m a new user of 2.7 RC1.

I am having this exact same problem. both with 1 site running 2.7 beta 3, and 2 sites running 2.7rc1.

Anyone else run into this and figured out how to solve it? No .maintenance file is created… so kind of puzzled.

Just did the update to RC2. Worked flawlessly. Continuing to test. NICE WORK FOLKS!!

I’m also using 2.7 rc1 and the update hangs after download – the update screen stops on “unpacking the core update”. It’s successfully downloaded the wordpress-latest.zip file (I can see it in my wp-content folder).

I’m on 1and1 servers, LAMP, mysql 5, permissions set to 755 for all folders and subfolders and files within my site’s directory.

I know how to upgrade manually – I’ve been doing it for years – but I’d love to get this auto-updating feature working. Ideas? thanks!

Michelle

@mmcginnis – same specs here.

It might be something with 1and1 then… however the plugin download/install works just fine, so I am really not sure what.

The 0 download size for the zip is strange… it tells me the transfer is initiated, but no data is ever received.

Anyone else have ideas?
