Automatic Update Failed

It’s me again,

I just went to my blog and this all I see:

Warning: main(/home/crashing/public_html/wp-load.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/crashing/public_html/wp-blog-header.php on line 12

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/crashing/public_html/wp-load.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/crashing/public_html/wp-blog-header.php on line 12

Please help~!

Upgrade manually. It’s easy.

1. I’m not knowledgeable in this area, even to follow the instruction.
2. My blog doesn’t end in /wordpress

If those instructions are too complex for you, then you don’t. It does not get any simpler than that.

Instead, I’d suggest that you find somebody who can do it for you. There’s several good resources available for you to request paid assistance, or perhaps you have a friend who can help you out.

I would also suggest that maybe running your own website is outside your skill set, and that you should consider using a service like WordPress.com or Blogger instead, where you can write your blog without having to also manage a website.

That’s exactly what I do have,thank you! My friend is gone, and automatic supposedly are automatic……

Hi Chris,

This is not supported on the shared servers. This is too much of a security risk.

I also have the same problem, but it’s mostly because my site is secure. The WordPress says it’s trying to copy a full path of a file, but the full path of the file is not correct for FTP because the user’s FTP account is chrooted to their home directory.

so:

/usr/home/joe/html/wp-content/uploads/

is actually:

/html/wp-content/uploads/

I need to tell WordPress how to get around that with the automatic installer, or there should be some toggle for sites that are chrooted, because at this point, I have to upgrade everything by hand, and that’s a pain. I’d like to be able to have the user do it themselves through the automatic update.

this happens on core updates, as well as plugin updates.
