   When I use the Automatic Upgrade feature in WP 2.7, I am asked to input the appropriate ftp credentials. After submitting them, there is a long wait, then the browser displays a message that says:

   -------------------------------------------------------------------
   "You have chosen to open update-core.php which is a PHP script from http://xxxxxxxxx.xx What should Firefox do with this file? Open with xxxx Save file"
   -------------------------------------------------------------------

   IE repeats the same issue. This did not occur (that I remember) prior to 2.7. I can duplicate this on different domains and different servers.

   Does anyone have a fix - please?

   Update

   Using htaccess to:

   php_value max_execution_time 18000
   php_value max_input_time 18000

   Does not resolve the issue.

   Changing php.ini to allow:

   max_execution_time = 18000
   max_input_time = 18000
   memory_limit = 256M

   Does not resolve the issue.

   Using the plugin or the built-in feature from WP 2.7? It sounds like you mean the built-in, but I want to be sure :)

   What browser (IE version what?)?

   What host?

   @Ipstenu - Using the built-in feature from WP 2.7

   Using both Firefox and IE (same issue with all). Host is Linux.

   Your web host may not work with the 2.7 upgrader.

   There's a list here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Core_Update_Host_Compatibility

   Has all the ones that work, those that don't, etc.

   @Ipstenu - Thanks! Nice resource link! Do you know where I can find the information so that I can make a server compatible with the Core Update feature? If so, I could probably use SSH to make the necessary changes. Appreciated, thanks! :)

   Sadly, I've never found the specifics for how it works. Though... Have you tried SFTP instead of FTP for the upload?

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.7#WordPress_Upgrader and http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5560 may shed some light.

   I got a fix!

   Change PHP to run as CGI - Then upgrade works.

   It would be nice if WP coders looked at this issue so that those who have PHP as an Apache module (DSO), won't run into this issue.
