Trying To Ugrade A New Installation Using The Auto Uprade

  • Hi, I am new to wordpress and I am having trouble upgrading from 2.7.1 to 2.9.1. I have not started adding any plugins or content to the site as of yet. But here is the problem that I am facing.

    When I attempt to upgrade or anything this is the message that I receive in admin dashboard. Can someone please help and show me how to correct this? Thank you in advance. Felton83

  • It’s a server restriction issue. You can either speak to your hosting provider or try a manual upgrade.

    Hi,
    Ouch, what a lot of errors. They have one thing in common:
    open_basedir restriction in effect

    This generally means that Safe Mode is running and having a problem with something, and from the errors you’re seeing, it looks like WP is trying and failing to make temp files for the install. I would ask your host if they can turn off Safe Mode. Safe Mode is so last century!

    btw, if you’re running 2.7, you must be using a plugin for auto upgrade…. if so, I would very much doubt that this could handle doing 2.7 to 2.9.1. That may be a bigger problem than having Safe Mode on.

    You may be stuck with doing an old-fashioned WP upgrade, doing the FTP upload and so on. Crossing that many upgrades, I would read this carefully before trying anything else:

    Hi guys thanks for such a quick response. I will talk to my service provider and read the codex and see what happens.

    Thanks again!
