incorrect permissions set during WP upgrade

[ryanhellyer]

On installing WordPress 2.8 Beta 1 the following error was displayed:

Fatal error: Class 'Translations' not found in G:\xampplite\htdocs\wordpress2\wp-includes\l10n.php on line 379

On downgrading to WordPress 2.7.1 the problem was corrected. I tried re-upgrading to 2.8 and the same problem occurred, downgrading to 2.7.1 again fixed the problem.

Sounds like you're not uploading all the files. Class Translations is defined in wp-includes/pomo/translations.php.

Oops! My bad.

It seems the zip file was corrupted. Not only that, but my ISP seemed to have cached the freakin' corrupted file, so whenever I download it the zip was corrupted. I got someone else to download it and email it to me and it now works perfectly :)

Actually ... I sent a copy of 2.7.1. I can install 2.8 on a separate install, but when I try to use it on my existing installation it spits out the error above :( I'll keep testing and see if I can figure out if this is a real bug or not.

Perhaps delete wp-admin and wp-includes to make sure all files are uploaded properly.

You can always download the latest trunk at the bottom here: ​http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk

Thanks.

I'm guessing one of my local files was corrupted or something like that, and overwriting it doesn't seem to help. I now have a replica of my WP installation (which works with 2.8 beta 1) running in a separate folder with the same database, same theme, same plugins etc. running as on the one which doesn't work.

upon automatic upgrade from 2.7 to 2.8 the directory wp-includes/pomo has permission 0700 making it unreadable by the websever (lighthttpd) on ubuntu linux.

Which leads to a fatal error and no blog.

The workaround is easy, chmod 755 on wp-includes/pomo as the files inside the directory are readable.

I suggest you look into your install zip

Every other folder is created with the proper filesystem permissions i guess?

The fix for #10170 might help here if the direct filesystem is being used.

I think so..

I'm going to close this as a duplicate of that assuming it was the same issue.

reporter(s): If you still have the same issues, please re-open with details on your server setup/config and versions affected (ie. 2.8.2/3/4 shouldn't have the bug anymore due to the other ticket)
