POP3 connect

    I’m upgrading WordPress for someone. They were running 2.1, and I’m upgrading them to 2.1.3.

    I’ve backed everything up, and I uploaded the 2.1.3 files to the server, overwriting the old. I went to the admin page, and – as it should – said the database was out of date, and I needed to upgrade. I clicked the link and went to “upgrade.php” – but the page was entirely blank *except* for “-1”. That’s all it said in the top left corner: “-1”.

    So I decided to delete everything on the server and start fresh. This time the database upgraded, but at the very last screen, I got this error:

    “POP3 connect: Error [0] [Unknown error: 0]”

    Sounds like an email issue – however, I can’t log into the admin area. The blog itself is fine, but when I go to log into the admin area, that’s what I see.

    I can’t find *anything* on either of these errors – does anyone have any ideas on what they mean?

    ..and now it’s too late for me to edit my previous post. ::sigh::

    I downloaded a fresh copy of 2.1.3 and unzipped it. Deleted everything from the server (except the wp-config.php file), and uploaded the fresh copy.

    Now neither the blog nor the admin area shows up. Instead, I have a lovely new error message:

    Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: wp_rewrite in /usr/www/users/sitename/blog/wp-settings.php on line 234

    I did a search for this error, and there’s only one other person who’s had this issue. They were told to download a fresh copy of the files and start over…

    EDIT: just tried doing a fresh installation in a new directory with a new prefix. Clicked the “install” link, and was taken to “install.php” –

    where – oh joy! – the page in blank except for “-1” in the upper left-hand corner.

    Okay, I’ve reinstalled the old site, and that’s back up and running as usual. Now I’m just trying to do this with a new installation, so I don’t bother the current site (I figure I’ll move everything after I get this sorted).

    I managed to get 2.1 back on there, no problem. I made another installation, did 2.1.3, and triple checked that all files (save the images) were uploaded as ASCII. Permissions are all correct. I even used source files that I *know* work – they are my own files.

    However, when I go to install, I still get the “-1” on the install page. Nothing whatsoever is showing up in the error logs. No errors are showing up on that page either – just the “-1”.

    Would anyone have any ideas on what this means? I’d appreciate it.

    EDIT: and oh yes – even weirder. When I visit the *blog* page – it shows the “license.txt” file. Never seen that one before.

    2nd EDIT: double-checked, and error reporting *is* on – but I did see something I thought was odd in the phpinfo file. Something called “max-input-time” is set to “-1” – I’m wondering if this could be the issue? Is that a correct setting?

    Well, I got it to work. I still don’t understand the mysterious issue with upgrading from 2.1 to 2.1.3, and what in the world that weird thing could have meant…

    I upgraded to 2.1.2 first. Then upgraded to 2.1.3. *Then* I imported the backup. All is well now.
