   I'm attempting to upgrade a Wordpress 1.5.2 installation, and some errors have cropped up. The WP installation is in /home/siteroot/public_html/geekman/. On the initial plugin page, the following error appears:

   Warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/siteroot/public_html/geekman/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/wpau_prelimcheck.class.php on line 106

   Upon clicking the 'Let's Go' button, the following page shows these errors:

   Warning: ftp_site() [function.ftp-site]: Could not change perms on /public_html/geekman: No such file or directory in /home/siteroot/public_html/geekman/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/wpau_prelimcheck.class.php on line 192

   Warning: ftp_chdir() [function.ftp-chdir]: Can't change directory to //public_html/geekman: No such file or directory in /home/siteroot/public_html/geekman/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/wpau_prelimcheck.class.php on line 229

   Warning: ftp_chdir() [function.ftp-chdir]: Can't change directory to //public_html/geekman/wp-admin: No such file or directory in /home/siteroot/public_html/geekman/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/wpau_prelimcheck.class.php on line 229

   Warning: ftp_chdir() [function.ftp-chdir]: Can't change directory to //public_html/geekman/wp-includes: No such file or directory in /home/siteroot/public_html/geekman/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/wpau_prelimcheck.class.php on line 229

   Warning: ftp_chdir() [function.ftp-chdir]: Can't change directory to /public_html/geekman: No such file or directory in /home/siteroot/public_html/geekman/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/wpau_prelimcheck.class.php on line 421

   I have not tried to start the upgrade itself. Please advise on a workaround for these errors.

   Thanks...

   I am not the creator of this plugin, but for the first error, it sounds like your hosting company has some security measures (disabling exec() in PHP) that are interfering with the plugin. You may want to contact them about that.

   For the other errors, you can see that you're getting file not found errors. Have you tried FTPing to your site and seeing what directory it puts you in and what it thinks root (/) is? I see it's leaving out /home/siteroot, so that could be your problem - more security measures from your hosting company.

   Unfortunately, I don't know of a workaround other than doing a manual upgrade.
