Updating to WordPress 2.9.1
Maybe some fellow bloggers can help me out here. My WordPress dashboard says:
WordPress 2.9.1 is available! Please update now.
So I click the link, choose the [Upgrade Automatically] option, and eventually it gets to this:
Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.9.1.zip.
Unpacking the update.
It churns for a few minutes, and then stops. But it is not upgrading. I’ve always done the automatic upgrades in the past, and all my recent plugins upgrade just fine. What are my options at this point for trying to get this update completed?


I hit something similar to this with my site, and I think it had to do with the fact that I was using an older version of MySQL (4, instead of 5). Once I went through those hurdles of updating that, I could run the WordPress update. Don’t know if that helps or not.
