   The automatic upgrade for plugins with WP2.6 was working fine under php4.4x - nothing else was asked for, it just did it when asked.

   I've just upgraded my dedicated server to php 5.2x. The site works OK but going back to plugin automatic upgrade I'm now being asked for FTP hostname, user, password and whether I want SSL. Again, no problem with that, but when I put in the correct details I get:-

   Error: There was an error connecting to the server, Please verify the settings are correct.

   Well yes, the settings are correct for FTP access so what would be the issue here please?

   Well, that was quick - the host company had left php4x as an option so I had to use the AddHandler command in the htaccess:-

   AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

   All now works OK

   Ok, I had the same error on 2.7final
   I added that line in my htaccess and now it's connecting to the server..BUT..it's trying to download plugins.php no matter what link I click on. That's a new one on me.

   OK, so on my hoster, I use c-panel, and I can switch between php 4 and php 5..with it on default or php5, it simply doesn't work.
   I switch to php4 and it works with no added tweaks, corrections, hacks, etc.
