   Hi,

   I am unable to auto upgrade to 2.8.5. When I do click "auto upgrade", I get the following, & that's it...

   Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.8.5.zip.

   Any ideas, other than a manual upgrade?

   Thanks, Alan

   Try again. If it fails might need to increase the amount of memory a PHP script may consume

   1. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
   If your line shows 32M try 64M:
   memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)

   2. If you don't have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
   php_value memory_limit 64M

   3. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
   define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

   4. Talk to your host.

   Hi Michael,

   Changing to 64 didn't do the trick. I noticed in the file manager that there are copies of every download upgrade ie: wordpress-2.8.5.zip,wordpress-2.8.5.1.zip,wordpress-2.8.5.2.zip & so on. I deleted all but one. I delete all such 2.8.5 files, correct? And then try again.

   Thanks

   PS- Never had a problem upgrading until today. The only difference is that WP Super Cache is installed.

   Deleting those zip files should cause no problem.

   Try to deactivate all plugins before doing the upgrade.

   Hi Michael,

   THANKS! I deactivated Super Cache & the update worked. Not sure why the plugin affected the upgrade though.

   If you don't mind, while you're here...in regards to modifying the php.ini file. I was recently told that the php.ini file only applies to Windows servers & that modifying it servers no purpose if not on a Windows server, that the .htaccess file is the relevant file on a Linux server.

   Any thoughts?
   Thanks again,
   Alan

   php.ini does affect PHP on linux servers. Some hosts may not give you access to that file though.
