Upgrade installation failed!

  • I have tried to upgrade my WP version but can’t…the following errors occur. Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(c:\php\tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (D:\……..co.uk) in D:\……co.uk\www\blog\wp-includes\functions.php on line 1446

    Unpacking the update…

    Verifying the unpacked files…

    The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to copy some files. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.: wp-includes/version.php

    Installation Failed

    When I check the permissions on my host it says full access for everyone.

    This is a server issue. You will either need to speak to your hosts about it or you will need to upgrade manually.

    Thank you I will contact my host.

    I did try to change the attributes to 777 using filezilla following advise elsewhere but has had little impact except to stop the update getting past the ‘unpacking files’ command.

    If I do it manually do I need to back up all the content as well as I have a theme I have changed the CSS for?

    A database backup is always a good idea before updating – whether you’re updating manually or using the 1-click updater. Other than that, you really shouldn’t have to back anything else up. You will find full instructions for manual upgrading in Upgrading_WordPress.
