Upgraded (I think) from 2.1.1 to 2.1.2 last night, from the command line (server has no video), but Dashboard says it's still at 2.1.1.
My procedure:
- backed up database & wordpress folder
- downloaded: wget http://wordpress.org/latest.zip
- unzipped this: it became wordpress/ -- the readme file didn't mention an exact version number
- replaced my current wordpress directory with this
- ran upgrade.php in a browser
- all seemed to go smoothly, blog behaves, but has anything changed? I wanted to see what has changed in which scripts but not sure where to look.
(2) Tried to poke around Codex to learn more and got a notice that my IP had been blocked "because you share an IP address with "(somebody I've never heard of)". Reason "spammer". The IP address Codex listed is NOT my IP address, not remotely. ? Tried to e-mail "MichaelH" (listed as contact) but it wasn't clear how to reach him.
1) did you do a hard refresh and clear your cache in your browser?
2) You can get MichaelH at the install4free site.

Thank you for your quick reply.
Yes I did, and restarted httpd.
"ls" shows that many files are the new ones (such as xmlrpc.php).
Some items have not been replaced, such as directory wp-includes. Does this mean the upgrade is incomplete, or needs redoing?
I contacted MichaelH, thank you.
That depends on how you upgraded. You should basically have downloaded 2.1.2, then FTP'd into your server and loaded the unzipped files (all of them) onto your server, overwriting the old files. Then run the "upgrade.php" file on your server. That should have done it for you.
If wp-includes is still the old files, then I *think* it's possible it didn't get completed, although I don't know *why* it wouldn't have uploaded the new files...

Yes. Replace *all* the files, otherwise you're not finished yet.

Did I at least get the correct 'latest' ?
wget http://wordpress.org/latest.zip
As I say, I have to do this from the command line because of a fried video card ;-|
There (seems to be) nothing in "latest.zip" which actually says "this is 2.1.2"
thank you
You should find version.php in the wp-includes folder.

Thanks! ok, I did download the correct version but apparently did not replace everything I needed to replace.
The "latest.zip" is a changing redirect to the actual latest file, which would be here (via a more direct link):
http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.1.2.zip

I missed your comment while I was redoing the upgrade :)
It went smoothly & everything seems to behave well.
Thanks all for the help..
