Auto-upgrade local install

Yes. It works just fine ??

I would say that depends. I have a local install on my hard drive, and one on a flash drive to take to client sites.

The hard drive installs just fine, but I have never been able to auto-upgrade on the flash drive. It is apparently a time-out problem, but I have changed the php.ini time configuration and it still will not run to completion.

Thanks. Well, I just “successfully” upgraded my install to 2.9.2 however, the dashboard still says that I’m at 2.9.1 and still asking me to upgrade. I don’t get it, after putting in my local FTP info and updating it said that it was successful.

Ok, if I try to upgrade via https://www.mysite.dev/wp-admin/upgrade.php it tells me:

No Upgrade Required

Your WordPress database is already up-to-date!

Though it’s still asking me to upgrade. Clearing my cache doesn’t help either.

I doubt that my install is really up-to-date because I just checked version.php and it says it’s still 2.9.1.

Help please! Why is the system contradicting itself?

It sounds as though it hasn’t quite worked. I’d collect the latest zip file and overwrite your existing files with that, hopefully that’ll sync everything up again and you can use auto-update next time.

Thank you, but I want to leave manually upgrading the files as a last resort. I have several WP installations that I’m working on locally and each one is giving me the same issue. So I doubt that this will be fixed by manually upgrading. It has to be something with being locally installed that’s causing this problem. Right now I have all of my local sites under subversion that I deploy to my live server. All of my live sites upgraded just fine to 2.9.2, and these are mirror images of my local files.

Is there something else that I can do?
