 * Hi!
    I try to Automatic update (WP 2.8.4 -> 2.8.5), but the upgrade failed. I
   get not error message, only message “download wordpress-2.8.5”. Then I look into/
   wp-content/tmp/ mapp, I find the zipfile wordpress-2.8.5, but it is empty. I 
   have add this lines into wp-config file define(‘WP_TEMP_DIR’, ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/
   tmp’); define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’); But still Automatic update does not 
   work. (Is PHP Safe Mode Off a requirement?) /Rexus
