 * I asked nicely, so please don’t get snarky.
 * I expected that the download function would act as an FTP client. Seems you are
   suggesting that it acts as an FTP server. I can’t understand why.
 * If hostname: is the hostname of my blog server, then I imagine that the domain
   that the program fetches the update from must be baked into the program. I wonder
   why the blog’s domain is required at all, since PHP is capable of discovering
   that information?

 * Peace and love.
 * Turns out that after rebuilding PHP and restarting apache it worked.

 * Yes, I had tried that, as I mentioned in my original post. Strangely enough, 
   the log only gets written when I comment out out the PHP statements. If I re-
   enable the define, no log entry results.

 * As you can see, WordPress isn’t causing the problem, so the version of WordPress
   is not relevant.

 * No, I did not. Where is that documented? All I could find was the ‘5 minute install’,
   which hardly gave any clues.
    I renamed .htaccess to .htaccess.save and resaved
   the permalink options. A new .htaccess file was created automatically but diff
   says they are identical.
