    hello to everyone-

    I’m having a problem upgrading WP 202 to 213. I’ve followed the upgrading docs by the letter, as far as I can tell.

    Problem: When I try to access the upgrade.php script program with my browser, this is what I get-

    <?php
    define(‘WP_INSTALLING’, true);
    if (!file_exists(‘../wp-config.php’))
    die(“There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups.

    Now when I refresh the page I get this-

    wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help?

      We got it

    You can

      create a wp-config.php file through a web interface,

    but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.”); require(‘../wp-config.php’); timer_start(); require_once(ABSPATH .’/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php’);if(isset($_GET[‘step’]))$step=$_GET[‘step’]; else $step=();

    W

      WordPress

    Have fun!”),$backto);?>

    I’m new to this, so I don’t know what to do from here!

    can anyone help me out?

    THANKS in advance.

    To start with, looks like you’re missing the main index.php file in your root install directory.

    Ah, are you on Yahoo hosting?

    Upgrading there isn’t trivial, seems like there are some wrinkles. You might search around the forums a bit, I’m reasonably certain Spencerp might’ve posted a walkthrough at one point.

    What’s up solo-

    Yes I am Yahoo hosting. This is my first blog so I don’t know if that’s a good thing or what. If I am missing an index.php file, where can I get it. also the instructions said to edit the wp-config.php file- How do I open that file with a notepad?

    I don’t know what I’m doing!

    As you saw from your search (you took my advice, right?) Y! makes upgrades … “difficult”.

    index.php is a file in the zip that you presumably downloaded from http://wordpress.org/download/ (with all the other files on your website). FTP it on up with the rest.

    wp-config.php: don’t delete the one that’s already there. Don’t upload a new one. It already has your user/pass/db setup.

    Ok I opened up FileZilla and went into the Wp-admin folder I uploaded, I see a index.php file in there, Is that the one your referring to? Or is there another one with the same name?

    Also my wp-config.php file is untouched I didn’t delete it

    One level UP from wp-admin (in /blog) should be the “main” index.php file. You don’t have one there.

    Holy S$#%%

    Your right I didn’t even notice that, there were 3 things missing- index.php, license.txt, readme.html I just now uploaded them, Thanks for that tip!

    Should I try to access the upgrade.php program again??
