Auto upgrade from 2.7 to 2.7.1 doesn’t work

    I tried using the Automatic upgrade in WP 2.7 to upgrade to 2.7.1 using the Safari and Firefox web browsers on Mac OS X 10.5.6 (I am using 1and1.com as a web hosting service – linux shared server). What happens when I click on the Automatic Upgrade link is the message:
    “Downloading update from https://www.ads-software.com/wordpress-2.7.1.zip”

    Then the page just sits there (no spinning or any type of icon indicating anything is happening and the web browser page status says ‘done’). I tried in Safari and Firefox with the same result. Anybody with ideas what is happening? Thanks.

    problems and solution for 1and1
    (fails running PHP 4, but works with PHP 5. Add AddType x-mapp-php5 .php to .htaccess to enable PHP 5. This also appears to not only affect Core updates but some Plugin updates as well.)

    Translation: Add this line
    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
    into your .htaccess file, which is in the top folder of your WordPress install

    Mmm, had the same problem, tried this solution, got a page full of interesting gibberish and a broken blog. Now trying to manually go back to 2.7. Sigh.

    Oops, sorry, no I’m not on 1 & 1 … I’m at vodahost … they don’t offer support for wordpress installations, so I have to muddle through on my own ?? That’s ok, I’m taking this opportunity to have a fresh start, lol.

    That fix was specifically for 1 & 1, not necessarily any other host. Sorry

    This cured the issue with my install on 1and1. Thanks for the info!!

    The auto-update kept failing for me too on asmallorange.com. I ended up doing a manual upgrade.

    Thank you very much ‘stvwlf’! I added the line to the .htaccess file and the auto upgrade feature worked. Greatly appreciate it!

    Not working for me as well…
    I had an auto-upgrade plugin that worked just fine. Now, the feature is part of Word Press proper… and it doesn’t work. That was a nice upgrade. Great job testing :-\
    So, is there a workaround? My provider does not allow me to muck around with .htaccess.
    Is this fixed in 2.7.1? Or will I be running into this everytime there is an upgrade?

    Found a thread that suggested deactivating the auto-update-plugin and upgrade went smoothly ??

    I am on 1&1 and have deactivated the Automatic Upgrade plugin. I also checked and am running PHP 5.1.6 on my server. Is this .htaccess hack still necessary?

    If so, exactly where in the .htaccess file should I insert that line? (there is a ‘#BEGIN wordpress’ and ‘#END wordpress’ included in the file).

    Thanks for any help!

    Bump…

    # BEGIN WordPress
    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
    # END WordPress

    and it will work
