Hi,
Check this https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended
Its step by step instruction how to update manually.
You will not lose anything from site, you have to keep your database and mentioned files/folders from old installation.
Download failed.: error:0D0890A1:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_verify:unknown message digest algorithm
That error is caused by your server using an outdated (and potentially dangerous) version of cURL and/or OpenSSL
As ClaytonJames said, it is a problem from your host or your own server. cURL is a library to put on top of Apache Webserver. WP uses it, and if it doesn’t find it, update will most likely crash.
If you have control over server (a VPS for example), we can explain you how to upgrade it.
Yep. When saying it once isn’t enough.
Though cURL is banned on many shared hosts, Clayton.
Irrelevant. The error message means one thing..
Otto gave a short and precise explanation of “why” the error occurs in a previous discussion. Rather than repeat the explanation, I’ll just link to it. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-update-my-wordpress-version?replies=10#post-6071902
I didn’t know OpenSSL and cURL were the same. But thanks for input.
I didn’t know OpenSSL and cURL were the same.
I never suggested that they were, and I suspect that you may know they are not, however it is possible that in this case a primary language difference between us may be making the meaning of the discussion unclear. Sorry for any confusion, and thank you for your input!
Well, you’re right they are in fact related but I don’t know which one had priority over a web server like Apache?
Not important, but one has to be setup before the other, I don’t recall I think openSSL last version, before cURL last version.
Bah, my input is lame but tested.
For Philm, did you check all is ok with these issues on your host/setup?
@philm2
Contact your hosts support group and relay your concerns regarding the error message you posted above. The version of OpenSSL in use on your server appears to be 0.9.7a.
Here’s a thread that includes a couple mentions of your own hosting service (I believe it might be Lunarpages – apologies if that’s incorrect, I used the domain listed in your profile) that might be an interesting read. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-i-cant-upgrade-plugins-and-themes?replies=32

Wow thanks for all the great input folks! I really appreciate it. Will be contacting my server today and post an update in case it helps anyone in the future.
