Okay, found a solution for 1and1 hosting:
1. Create a file called php.ini
2. Put this text in it: memory_limit = 64M
3. Save it and upload it to the /wp-admin directory.

Now you should be able to do the automatic upgrade.

I got the same error on the same file on the same line number doing the automatic upgrade. Hosting on 1and1.com. I had to resort to upgrading the old fashioned way and that worked.

I’ve got the same problem. WP 2.6.3 was running fine. Upgrade to 2.7 and now it’s take over 1 minute to load the main page whereas before it was a second or 2. And it’s definitely not my server because I still have another 2.6.3 blog on that same server and it flies.

I’m not familiar enough with this stuff to be able to diagnose the problems, but I’m on a shared linux hosting plan with 1and1 and I’m having horrible slowness with 2.7.

And mods like Otto make me want to leave WP altogether. This seemed like such a helpful and cooperative community but his attitude has totally soured me. Telling everyone their servers are broken and funky is not helpful. Less confrontational and dramatic language would have been much more helpful.
