Wow! That’s it!

For 2 years I transfered the files in binary mode and there never was a problem. After your suggestion I switched to ASCII and copied the pluggable.php (2.6) to where it belongs and: YES! It works!

Really crazy – there are so many things one has to know.

A big Thank you to you!

Hi Otto!

At first: Thanks for your help!

I know to mix versions is not a good idea! But at least I got my site to work again. I couldn’t even login before.

Concerning the new files: I deleted EVERY file of the 2.5.1 version and afterwards copied the new version to the server. I did this more than once. – So – even if the server should have a “memory” ?? it should be gone right now.

And: yes the class-phpass.php is somehow involved in the problem – but Im not a programmer. I also thought about conflicts with the PHP installed on the server – but a friend of mine got the 2.6 version updated without any problem on the same webspace.

Our provider did a database optimization using a automatic tool of php my-admin 2 weeks ago. Could it be this is confusing the WP-routines?

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn’t work.

What I now did is:

upload aall new WP 2.6 files
replaced pluggable.php (2.6) with pluggable.php (2.5.1)
going to upgrade.php in the browser again

It did work! I can now enter the Admin area again and could reactivate all the plugins which where deactivated before upgrading.

After these things where successful, I tried to take the pluggable.php from the 2.6 installation package and copied it into the includes folder to replace the 2.5.1 version.

What happend? Same mistake again. My Browser showed:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in ... /wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1265

So now I have a 2.6 installation with a pluggable.php that misses a lot (7KB) of new code.

Line 1265 in pluggable.php is around the paragraph:

// If the stored hash is longer than an MD5, presume the
// new style phpass portable hash.
if ( empty($wp_hasher) ) {
	require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-includes/class-phpass.php');
		// By default, use the portable hash from phpass
		$wp_hasher = new PasswordHash(8, TRUE);
	}

This has to do something with the new passwords and the responding information in wp-config.php, right?

I don’t know what to do now.
