Update to version 4.0 issue

  • Hello guys,
    Afew days ago I experienced a problem updating form version 3.9.1 to 4.0 , I got this message :
    Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in E:\wampnew\wamp\www\wordpress-3.9.1\wordpress\wp-includes\class-http.php on line 973
    Someone here advised me to add lines to .htaccess and php.ini , the problem is that I’m running WP on localhost(Wamp), I can’t find .htaccess.
    I tried to update manually, I removed the old folder and put the new in place then imported the database, after installing at login screen it redirects me to the url of the old version which is 3.9.1 insted of 4.1 and I got an error msg !!
    I read the instructions, I went to wp-admin/upgrade.php, it updated the DB, and this is the link
    https://127.0.0.1/wordpress-4.0/wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade.php?step=1
    when I press continue I get this link
    https://127.0.0.1/wordpress-3.9.1/wordpress/

    I need some help please, thanks in advance ??

  • When you create a wordpress install you set the url for the site. THat information is stored in the DB

    when you do an WP update, you are updating the files in the WP folder and upgrading the database pointed to by the wp-config.php.

    When you created a new set of folders for WP (wordpress-4.0) and copied the old database to it, the URL is still pointing to the old location – (this can be verified by using phpMyAdmin and examining the wp-options table)

    what you should have done is deleted all files and folders in the E:\wampnew\wamp\www\wordpress-3.9.1\wordpress directory with the exception of teh wp-config.php file and teh wp-contents directory and put the WP 4.0 files and folders there.
