SQL Error when trying to upgrade

[llegrand]

Is it required that everyone needs to update the backup.php  file PRIOR to updating? 

If so, can you change the info within the message block to indicate that somehow?

Thanks

You can try to upgrade on your hostong provider server and let us know about result

Abolabo,
An answer for you:

HaPPy to report -  I had no issue in running the upgrade by using the link on the message box.  Back up was flawless,  and the key was showing in the Network Install tab.  A couple of clicks and all was done.

Excellent Lee,

After I changed that backup.php file, it went smooth as glass!

Seems my hosting provider had something wrong with populating the backup.php when I did the original install.

i guess you should to check directive of php.ini related function call "system" in your hosting provider CPanel. They wrote that you probably enabled it, but they are have this directive off by default. You can ask them about it. i think enabled 'system' not secure for your site..

I didn't even realise the upgrade was available until I logged into my admin area.

Used the backup file as supplied and all is well.
