Multiple Issues with installing plugins, upgrades, etc.

    I’ve got three things going on and I’m thinking they are somehow related.

    First, when I went to upgrade from 2.8.1 to 2.8.2 everything worked great. When I went to upgrade from 2.8.2 to 2.8.3, it stopped saying “Downloading wordpress-2.8.3.zip” and it just stopped, leaving a 0 byte .zip file in my /wp-content folder (which I guess is where I have stuff set to uplaod). I have another WP blog on the same host in a different subdomain and that upgrade worked fine, so I know the hosting company (php version, etc.) isn’t the problem.

    Now when I try to install any plugin via the automatic upgrade or by installing from within WP, I get the same 0 byte file (for the appropriate plugin) and the same message about “downloading plugin.1.2.3.zip” and it stops.

    Today, I just tried to make a new post and while trying to upload a file through the WP interface, it shows the file 100% uploads (and I see the full size file in the wp-content folder) but when it stops “crunching” the file and never finishes.

    Now the apache server has write access to wp-content (since it can create the 0 byte files) and I don’t have this issue with my other blog running on another subdomain.

    The only thing I did on this install was try to install the E-commerce plugin, which initially failed with the same problem. This was while I was still at 2.8.2.

    Any ideas on what might cause this?

    Thanks
    Rob

  • Hi,

    Check with these options:

    1) Add this code in .htaccess file of the wordpress blog:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </IfModule>

    2) Change the wp-contents permissions folder to 766.

    3) Go to your WordPress Admin then Settings – Misc. Set ‘Store uploads in this folder’ to: wp-content/uploads and leave Full URL path to files blank.

    4) Disable all the plugins and have a check with upgrade. If it does not work then do manual upgrade.

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    Well it was probably a plug in that caused this. Not until I deactivated the plugins could I upload photos.

    I’m going to mark this resolved.

    The WP E-Commerce Plugin seems to be the culprit.
