Using the Aksimet 2.1.4 plugin and by changing the plugin's version# to
2.1.0 I decided to run 5 concurrent upgrade attempts and record the
results. All plugins were deactivated. They were interesting to say the
least:
WP 2.5 RC1
Apache version 2.2.8 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.5
MySQL version 5.0.45-community-log
Architecture x86_64
Operating system Linux
_
Aksimet test 1:_
Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/akismet.zip
Unpacking the update
Removing the old version of the plugin
Installing the latest version (Note: I had to wait approx. 45 secs
before the following appeared.)
WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query SELECT
option_id, autoload FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'update_plugins'
made by delete_option
Plugin installed successfully
_Result:_ Despite the declaration that the "Plugin installed
successfully" the plugin was in fact...gone. Just out of curiosity I
reactivated the "OneClick" plugin and had that retrieve "Aksimet" from
WordPress.org's Plugin Directory and the plugin was installed correctly.
I then deactivated "OneClick".
_Aksimet test 2:_
Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/akismet.zip
Unpacking the update
Removing the old version of the plugin
Could not remove the old plugin
_Result:_ The Aksimet 2.1.0 plugin was still listed in the Plugin page
with the "Upgrade available announcement below it.
_Akismet test 3:_
Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/akismet.zip
Unpacking the update
Removing the old version of the plugin
Installing the latest version
Plugin upgraded successfully
_Result:_ Plugin was upgraded successfully.
_Aksimet test 4._
Unable to locate WordPress directory.
_Result:_ The Aksimet 2.1.0 plugin was still listed in the Plugin page
with the "Upgrade available announcement below it. I'm assuming that the
WP Plugin Directory is very busy at that moment so WP 2.5 timed out in
attempting to download the plugin.
_Aksimet test 5:
_
Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/akismet.zip
Unpacking the update
Removing the old version of the plugin
Installing the latest version
Plugin upgraded successfully
_Result:_ Plugin upgraded successfully.
I ran the same tests a couple times more but did not get that SQL error
again. I was monitoring my error logs via my FTP client (Filezilla) and
no other "unannounced" errors occurred during these tests.
Hope this helps some. It's got me stumped but then again, I'm no expert.
