    I have a VPS, WHM and 3 accounts (they are all mine).

    2 months ago, I installed WordPress for each and every account from their cPanel. Back then, the version was 4.3.1.

    Now I want to update them all to 4.4, but WordPress won’t offer me to update.

    I also tried to do that from cpanel-site software-wordpress-upgrade

    The server returned the message “Requires MySQL 5 or newer.

    Could not prepare working directory: No such file or directory”.

    I have MySQL 5.6.27 installed.

    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hello,

    If the application was previously upgraded either manually or using application’s administrative panel, Cpanel cpAddon script manager wouldn’t be able to manage that application. You may update the script using application dashboard or through FTP. To avoid similar notification, just rename the .yaml file kept under /home/user/.cpaddons directory.

    Have you tried to update the sites manually before? Try renaming the .ymal as suggested, if that doesn’t work, download a fresh copy of 4.4 and manually update.

    thank you for your response.
    as in my question i have mention the wordpress was installed with version 4.3.1 through cpanel site software. and this is the first time i have got a upgrade issue.
    according to your suggestion yes there is a .ymal the name of the file is (cpanel::blogs::wordpress.0.yaml). how to rename. and after rename what should be the name.
    i am not a tech guy my questions may sometime look foolish. sorry for that.

    Rename it to anything. The system is looking for something called .ymal so just rename it to .ymal2 or something.
