I am having the same problem. does anyone know how to fix this?

ok so I know I should probably know this already but where is the htaccess file and can I get to it via ftp without downgrading to 2.9.2?
thanks.

thanks for the help. It took a while but doing it via ftp did do the trick.

ok so it took some time to move the files back to the root directory because they extracted into the wordpress directory but I got it updated. I only updated it to the 2.8 version per your advice. Now I am wanting to go up to the 2.8.6 version. I figure I can do it the same way however the file that downloads won’t extract on my server. when I download it and try to extract it on my computer it says that it is either damaged or empty. any idea why this wouldn’t work?
and thanks for the help thus far.

I know that this was posted 3 months ago but I was wondering if you found anything out. I am also on 1and1 and am having the same trouble. When I installed ver. 1.7 I set it up so that it is in the root directory not in /home and doesn’t need to be redirected. I’m not sure if that is why it isn’t working or not. Also Bronik if you also did this with the directories was it a problem when you tried to install the upgrade, or did it just go to the correct directories on it’s own?
thanks.
