I attempted to use WPAU for an upgrade to v 2.6 and had a real problem, unlike previous usage which has gone really well. There seemed to be problems with permissions but eventually all seemed to be going well until the last step. Upgrade.php gave a blank screen and it was then impossible to access any WordPress admin pages and the website itself also gave a blank page.
Looking at the log file of changes recorded in the mySQL database, I noted the following:
-----------------------
Succesfully Created files backup archive at /home/virtual/site143/fst/var/www/html//wpau-backup/wpau-files-bak.zip
------------------------
Note the double // after html. This resulted in multiple errors later in the log as shown by:
-----------------------------------
Copying over files from /home/virtual/site143/fst/var/www/html//wpau-backup/wordpress/wp-includes to /home/virtual/site143/fst/var/www/html/wp-includes
Overwriting file class.wp-styles.php to /home/virtual/site143/fst/var/www/html/wp-includes
ERROR -> Could not copy /home/virtual/site143/fst/var/www/html//wpau-backup/wordpress/wp-includes/streams.phpto /home/virtual/site143/fst/var/www/html/wp-includes/
ERROR -> Could not copy /home/virtual/site143/fst/var/www/html//wpau-backup/wordpress/wp-includes/cron.phpto /home/virtual/site143/fst/var/www/html/wp-includes/
-----------------------------
I'm assuming the // is what causes the error.
I've now reverted to v 2.5.1, which is where I started from. Is this directory structure the problem? Should I go round the loop again with WPAU or just do a manual upgrade?
Thanks for your help.
