Well the whole upgrade was taken care of by the automatic installer, which means that i shouldn’t have to do anything manually, moreover, the upgrade.php file already disappeared… Any other ideas? I really would hate to have to downgrade…
I just typed a load, then went to your site – all is now sorted 🙂
I just ran the wordpress upgrade script, and it’s fine to stay there – no need to delete it 🙂

It seems that it deleted the admin account that I had previously created… How can I log in now?
That’s a fault of their auto-installer.

Oh dear I think I might have messed it up big time. I was going through the steps and none of them seemed to work, so I decided to replace the wp-login.php file with the code that was given at that website. Well now nothing seems to work, in fact this is what I get when I try to log in…

Thanks in advance for all the help!
Hmm… that looks like plain text.
You could try getting the code again, copying only what is between the <?php and ?>, pasting it into WordPad, saving as ‘wp-login.php’ and uploading.
Alternatively, just upload an original wp-login.php (if you haven’t got a copy, download from the link at the top of the page )
Once that is sorted, we can get back to the other problem 🙂
Do you have phpmyadmin ? It will be listed on your cpanel (sometimes called mysql administration tool)

wow wow, thanks!!! my site is this h t t p : / / l i c e n c e t o s p i l l . n e t
i upgraded to 1.2 version an hour ago… and after using the fantastico thingie on my server to do the upgrade i got this greeting me on my homepage:
Database error: [Unknown column ‘post_date_gmt’ in ‘where clause’]
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND post_date_gmt <= ‘2004-08-15 20:35:59’ AND (post_status = “publish”) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 6
and the OLD TEMPLATE! arghhhh!! are all my old stuff and tempalte and posts gone??? i havent done a backup yet!
and then i tried to login, and to my horror, my password isnt working and so i click on “forgot password?” and was emailed a new password. still i couldnt log in.
i tried changing the wp-login: Replace:
$user_login = $user_data[’user_login’];
with:
$user_login = $user_data->user_login;
like what you had suggested in yoru faq, nothing’s changed.
and then , i copied this thing when the upgrade had taken place… just in case something cocks up…

It works now 🙂
I ran the upgrade script from with 1.2
The wp-layout.css is now the default one though – you did have a back-up of that ….. ?

sorry, im just a little overwhelmed at this moment. cos i had a new site using the newer 1.2 wordpress version, and indeed it’s much better than the old one with better features. that’s the reason why i wanted to do an upgrade. but instead, i’m faced with all these greek instructions after the upgrade. 🙁
