How to autoupdate WordPress hosted at Host Europe

karrock — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 19:33:39 +0000

All who has webspace at Host Europe and installed WordPress by itself (not out of the box) have problems to use the autoupdate function from WordPress.

For me it said always that the installtion path of WordPress was not found. Now, after a long while, I found a german blog article WordPress AutoUpdate bei Hosteurope. There is described that you just have to put one single line in the config file wp-config.php of WordPress and all works as expected. The problem which cause the error is the directory for temporary files, which is set by this line via a environmental variable.

putenv('TMPDIR='.ini_get('upload_tmp_dir') );
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
   define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

Just put the bold line in your config-file at this position and then you can use WordPress auto update. But be sure to backup your data as explained in the WordPress Codex!

Yesterday they did it …

The latest TYPO3 version 4.4 makes TYPO3 easier than ever – especially for newbies. Your TYPO3 website can be up and running in five minutes after it has been downloaded – use the included template and it is ready to go right away. Below you will find the most important innovations.

Last night i checked my own “starterpackage” with the new version. Everything seems to be fine.

The new Backend looks great, loads fast and is really easy to use.

Thanks to the Core-team of TYPO3! Great work, guys!

How to

After the release from TYPO3 4.2.8 i decided to post a small, usefull description to update/upgrade the core files from TYPO3.

You won’t need more then 10 minutes! Just follow these steps (more details, see here):

Download TYPO3 source
Backup your Database and the following folders:
- t3lib
- typo3
- fileadmin
- uploads
Upload the source files to your webserver
Start the Upgrade-Wizard (Install-Tool)
Compare & Update your Database online
- select Database Analyser
- click COMPARE at “update required tables” and do the proposed updates until the Install Tool says, that everything is OK.
Install/Update static tables and description tables (only if needed)
- use the InstallTool
- select DataBase Analyser
- click IMPORT at “Dump static data”
- “import” the whole file
- click “write to database”
Clear cache tables
Clear configuration cache
or just delete “temp_CACHED_ ” files in /typo3conf/ directory
check for Extension-Updates (Backend -> Extensions -> Update)

THATS ALL! after a short test – your webproject ist fresh and up to date!
