    Upgrading from 1.5 to 2.13. Deleted everything on server except wp-config.php. Uploaded all 2.13 files. When I run /wp-admin/upgrade.php, the Upgrade WordPress link points to a temporary internet file on my local hard drive. I deleted all temp files and cleared the cache, but still does it. Any ideas?

    You mean you put in the address line/field of your favourite browser this:
    http://example.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php (where example com is replaced by your own domain) and you get a local file???

    Yes.

    What does the source of that link look like? The actual source code has it as <a href="upgrade.php... so I fail to see how it could point local unless you’re accessing it locally. It’s one of the few links in WordPress that is a relative link.

    Leaving off the opening < and the tag closing (since I don’t know how this text box handles html code), source is:

    a href=”upgrade.php?step=1&backto=”>Upgrade WordPress »

    You can post html here by putting backticks around the code (hit the ~ key on your keyboard, probably to the left of the row of numbers).

    And that should work. If the URL is http://example.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php, then that link points to http://example.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php?step=1&backto=

    Well, here’s the interesting part. I put http://example.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php in the address box of IE7. When I hit Return, the address box changes to C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\6GF0T0AU\upgrade[1].php. Then when the upgrade page displays (and that’s the page I quoted the source from above) and you mouse over the Upgrade WordPress link, it points to a file:///C:/Documents … I have no idea why typing the http://example.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php and hitting return causes the address in IE7’s address box to change.

    OK, you can close this topic from my point of view. Used Firefox to run http://example.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php and everything worked. Problem is apparently in IE7 and way it handles running a file from the Internet. Thanks to those who responded with helpful suggestions.
