I’ve posted in another thread about this as well, but no one seems to be looking at the problem. * Anyone? This has to be happening to more than just 2 or 3 of us. My main question is whether this is a 2.0 issue with the software, or if it’s database related( ie, categories not being written/retreived). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Moved to new host, posts go in default category?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-to-new-host-posts-go-in-default-category/) * [griffey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/griffey/) * (@griffey) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-to-new-host-posts-go-in-default-category/#post-318666) * YES! This is going on now with my installation, after my upgrade to 2.0. I found another support thread that talked about potentially turning off the CACHE to help with a similar problem, so I tried that. * Still broken. * Anyone have any ideas what’s going on here?? No matter what I assign, it’s only using cat 1. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Problem with upgrade to 1.2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-upgrade-to-12/) * Thread Starter [griffey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/griffey/) * (@griffey) * [21 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-upgrade-to-12/#post-71178) * That appears to have taken care of it. Wow…that’s speedy service!

The 777 didn’t “stick” (I assume that my provider doesn’t allow a 777 folder in the html area, for good reason). BUT, when I checked, the folder was 766 again, and it worked. No idea what was going on, but it’s working now. Completely excellent hack! Thanks so much for helping as well…great stuff. Makes me happy I picked WordPress to use for my blogging efforts. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [WP Backup/Restore new version](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-backuprestore-new-version/) * [griffey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/griffey/) * (@griffey) * [22 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-backuprestore-new-version/page/3/#post-36284) * Ok, that said: I found the $path variable setting in the bvars.php file, but am unsure about how exactly that’s pulling the info. That _might_ be where this is messing up for me. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [WP Backup/Restore new version](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-backuprestore-new-version/) * [griffey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/griffey/) * (@griffey) * [22 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-backuprestore-new-version/page/3/#post-36283) * Permission error? I’ve CHMOD’d the “backup” folder to 766, and still getting errors. Is there some possibility that the actual folder path is wrong? Where does the script pull the folder path from? Again, the errors: Warning: fopen(/ public/html/griffey/wp/backup/02032004wordpress.sql): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /public/html/griffey/wp/wp-admin/backupRestore.php on line 217 Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /public/ html/griffey/wp/wp-admin/backupRestore.php on line 218 Backup Successful.

It says its successful, but of course, I get no files in the backup folder any ideas?

I didn’t change the prefix, no…the old prefix was b2. What I don’t want to happen is that the tables get buggered when I do the upgrade (I’ve got a backup, but not enough knowledge to be comfortable that I could handle it if it breaks in a major way). That’s an idea, though. I’m looking at the config now, and see the line. If I change that, will it overwrite the old tables when I do the install?

I’d love to. However, all of the “how to’s” have passed me by already. 🙁 Anyone out there with suggestions on how to upgrade from .71 to (hopefully) 1.1? What actually needs to be done? If I just copy the new over the old, is it smart enough to latch on to the appropriate database et al? Just looking for some direction… Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total)
