Unsuccessful WordPress Update
By Heidi | April 5, 2007
This morning, our WordPress installation and the database did not play nicely together when I attempted to manually update the WordPress installation. Everything had to be reinstalled. We did manage to import a slightly outdated backup database, and were also able to retrieve the last several posts from the Yahoo cache for the pages. However, the comments are lost. Sorry about that.
This blog is hosted as a beta version of WordPress through Yahoo hosting. They are several updates behind now. I put in a feature request some time ago. It would be nice if the automatic updater would update the installation, as it did at our old host. This is my only real quibble with the Yahoo hosting so far.
Success! See the update, and how to upgrade WordPress at Yahoo Small Business Hosting.

[...] may have noticed that we’ve had some problems with the blog for the last few days – again. It turns out that it is rather complicated to upgrade WordPress if you are using Yahoo Small [...]
I tried on several occasions to update through Yahoo small business and recieved your same results. I have an established blog and want to update, but I don’t think that I have the know how. Thanks for the detailed instructions though, maybe if I get the guts I’ll give it a try.
Just be sure to disable the WP-Cache and upload the new config file. That seems to make all the difference with Yahoo Small Business.
