Auto-updates

Jachym,

I wonder if the permissions is the culprit for the ones that are failing.

[Jachym]

Could be in some cases, but I know cases where the issue is provider and in such case there really is absolutely nothing me or the user can do.

No, and now Yes.

My hosting provider (Fasthosts) allows Windows or Linux hosting, didn't work under Windows, switched hosting to Linux and now it works perfectly!

Interesting...

Yes, strange. I know there was an issue with Win servers, but that should be fixed by the bug fix package

Hi
I am with Fasthosts and have a windows server and as I said in my last post after the bug fix was installed the plugin updated ok

Just an update on the upgrade
While i used the automated way and i got no errors, the auto update of blocks was not working along with the automated installation.
I reinstalled the latest version folder per folder and everything worked just fine.

The auto-update function was working fine for me. This weekend I installed the updates of v16 and , as an experiment set the https to on with my web provider. The auto-updates fail from that point, even when switching it off again and waiting a couple of days for caches and what not to recalibrate themselves. Big mistake this https, I shouldn't have got along with the latest fashion of https which im my view is superfluous where no sensitive data is transferred via a website.
So back to manual for me ....

Yes, https is a problem in this case, but I dont think transfering to https was a mistake
