Auto update – Could not create Temporary file

    Hi, I recently installed version 3.0.1. Had to do it manually because of the error Download failed.: Could not create Temporary file.

    Slight digression – I noticed that the comments don’t work, they won’t post. Although, the ones imported from my Blogger site are all there. I also noticed in case of comment moderation it’s supposed to notify me by email, but I can’t figure where to tell it my email address. Anyway, I figured maybe an upgrade to the latest version would fix everything, that’s the motivation.

    I tried to upgrade manually, but it wouldn’t go, the upgrade.php file crashed on line 18 I think it was, saying file not found.

    So, I tried the auto install procedure and got the Download failed.: Could not create Temporary file.error message, as I expected.

    Note that this is a Windows 2003 server, and I have WP installed on the root, not a WordPress directory.

    If anybody knows what’s going on here I’d love to hear about it! The site is http://www.gigascanner.com. Thanks!

    I’m not sure about a Windows server, but usually these kinds of errors are due to some kind of permissions problems or PHP’s “safe mode” may be on. You should probably turn that off anyway, as it has been deprecated as of PHP 5.3.0.

    Here’s a page that talks about this and has some references to using Safe Mode and IIS:
