Hi!

I have this problem also…. but I don’t understand why it doesn’t happen when I work with local copy on MAC and WAMPP.

Thanks!

If you can, delete previous post, is not relevant.

The solution:
1. chown -R apache wp-folder/
(where “apache” is the user that Apache runs)
The group keeps as UserAccount.

Then I can manage files throught ssh and can do automatic updates…

It is correct? I know we have to review linux configuration, but this threat will not be here ??

thanks!

Ok I created a new ftp user and changed WP files owner … but I still couldn’t update automatically…

–> I forced to put ‘FS_METHOD’ as direct, and I get the following error during the update (all in a test enviroment of course!)
Could not create directory.: /wp-content/upgrade/wordpress-3.tmp

–> Then I put 777 permissions to /wp-content/upgrade and update again but get the next error:
Could not copy files.
Installation Failed

Then I changed AGAIN files owner to apache and WORKS!!!

I have to investigate more but I have now a lot of clues!

Thanks

Ok, but I updated all files (owner Apache/ group Apache) and I still can’t update automatically….. ??

Should I create a new ftp user and change all owner/group for this user? mmmmhh ok I will try and let you know.

Thanks a lot!

You will not believe it but I knew it… ??
This server was not configured by me! I’m going to change it inmediately. Thanks.

make everything in the wordpress folder owned by the ftp account.

My ftp account is root:

Case1: All files: root/root –> update automatically doesn’t work
Case2: All files: root/apache -> update automatically doesn’t work
Case3: All files: apache/apache –> update automatically doesn’t work

What are the WP system requeriments in order to run an automatic update?

Thanks!

Ipstenu, I see at httpd.conf: LoadModule suexec_module

And I wanted to test a permission problem so I changed owner and group (apache-apache) to all WP files and still I can’t update automatically.

But I can install plugins through web, and they are record as “apache/apache” so I don’t understand the problem.

Thanks!

Andrea, blogs.dir is owned by web account (apache) and other files are owned by ftp account….

Ipstenu, can I see it at phpInfo()?

thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for your help! I will try it …

Hi,

5.3.6 (php version)
SuPHP –> Not installed
DSO –> Not installed
fastCGI –> Not installed

Thanks a lot!

Thanks, and can it be actived only for one site?

It just have done! I can say that it works!

Thanks

That’s why there’s a field there where WP saves recently deactivated plugins.

What field do you refer?

And other question… When you desactive the multisites plugins (for example, renaming plugins folder).. Can the plugin configuration be lost?

You are right! I have just checked it!

Thanks a lot for your help.

Ok, I will try!

One more thing, the automatic upgrade only overwrites the changed files in the new version, really?

Thanks a lot for your help,
