Hi. In my case it turned out to be the lack of memory for Apache or lack of hard disk space in the “/tmp” folder. Look at your error_log (the apache log), that’ll tell you what the problem is.

There are suggestions online about optimizing the mysql database. Try that, but that’s not the root cause.

I disabled session cookies in my PHP as I don’t have any website that needs that stuff. Also, I created a cronjob to delete all files in the /tmp folder that were more than 2 days old. Plus I optimized the mysql etc.

Hope this helps..

Also, restarting MySQL doesnt do anything. All tables optimized. The server restarted.

What else can I do?

Thanks.

Optimizing the databases is NOT the solution.

Any other thoughts?

This is very scary.

Same problem. This is scary.

All tags and categories have been LOST from all posts.

Disabling all plugins doesn’t help.

WHat’s up!

Well maybe WordPress developers just need to start paying attention to this pretty important issue. They seem to be ignoring it for quite a while.

ClaytonJames, about this link:

Enabling SSH Upgrade Access

I have seen it. But PECL command mentioned there doesn’t work. This is on my main server, with root access:

~> pecl install ssh2
Failed to download pecl/ssh2 within preferred state "stable", latest release is version 0.11.2, stability "beta", use "channel://pecl.php.net/ssh2-0.11.2" to install
install failed

Any ideas?

Otto, where should I specify the host name? In the wp-admin file? Should I hard code it?

Also, it is NOT only about specifying the port. The port number is for SSH2 and SFTP (ftp over SSH2) and not for regular FTP, whereas WP tries to connect over regular FTP.

Am I missing something? Basically, specifying port number doesn’t work.

Samuel. Thanks. I used that to add the following to my server

define('FS_METHOD', 'ftpext');
define('FTP_USER', 'me');
define('FTP_PASS', 'mypass');
define('FTP_HOST', 'DOMAIN.com:2255');
define('FTP_SSL', true);

Doesn’t work. When I click on upgrade automatically it just sits there.

Not only that, the WP install I have 3.0.4 seems to force a port 21, even if I edit that SSH2.php file.

Heres the error message:

Failed to connect to FTP Server DOMAIN.com:21

Doesn’t. Because the option for “Upgrade automatically” is not SFTP. It is “FTP SSL”. Which is not the same thing.

Clayton, that’s for SSH. I was asking about SFTP. So it doesn’t work, naturally. Any other ideas?

Doesn’t work. Whether I keep FTP_SSL true or false, I see this message:

Failed to connect to FTP Server ftp.mydomain.com:21

Why is it looking for port 21 regardless of SSL port being true or not?

Also, SFTP is the most common protocol on most servers that I know of. When it is going to be supported?

Hey, any update on this?

Inside the WordPress admin, when I “ftp” and choose https, it doesn’t work as the SFTP in my server is a non-standard port.

How does that work? An easy port number setting in wp-config.php will be lovely!

Anyone?

Actually remove_action in functions.php does nothing.

Any other suggestions? I’d like to get rid of the “rel” links created by wp_head.

Thanks@
