Re: Zend Server and Wordpress Automatic Updates

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It is looking more and more that I'll need to do this manually.  The WP 
Automatic update function just prompts you for a userid and password 
that authenticates you to the server running WP (Zend Server on i in 
this case)  and then runs a script that downloads, backs up, copies and 
replaces the old WP files with the new ones.  During that process it 
creates and deletes folders and files and it looks like it does it using 
an FTP script as far as I can tell.  So, running a batch job or a CL 
program would defeat the whole concept of "automatic" and would require 
programming on my part.  Maybe *someday* I will go ahead and build an 
update script for WP for i, but right now the manual method will be faster.

Thanks,

Pete
