Problem with automatic upgrade - works only once

[pavelevap]

I encounter following problem on some websites:
There were problems with upgrade, so I asked for safe_mode=off.

There were still problems:

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp//wordpress-2.8.6.zip) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/www/alan-grey-page.cz:/usr/local/lib/php) in /home/www/alan-grey-page.cz/subdomains/www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2118

Warning: touch() [function.touch]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/wordpress-2.8.6.zip) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/www/alan-grey-page.cz:/usr/local/lib/php) in /home/www/alan-grey-page.cz/subdomains/www/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 175

So, I added following to wp-config.php:

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
define('WP_TEMP_DIR', ini_get('upload_tmp_dir'));

And there was following error:

Could not create directory: /home/www/alan-grey-page.cz/subdomains/www/wp-content/upgrade

In the end, I added only following line to wp-config.php (I had to insert FTP password manually during upgrade):

define('WP_TEMP_DIR', ini_get('upload_tmp_dir'));

And everything worked! Great. But.. When I tried to reinstall it once again, there was following error:

Could not copy file: /subdomains/www/wp-content/upgrade/wordpress-2.8.6/wordpress/wp-comments-post.php

And there is a folder "upgrade" (CHMOD 0755) in wp-content with all unzipped WordPress files. So, I deleted the whole upgrade folder and automatic upgrade works again. But only once, then I had to delete upgrade folder with its content. Strange. Any help? Thank you...

No patch.

I'm closing this for 2 reasons: Primarily, I believe this is a combination of a few fixed bugs, and server configuration issues (which may have also been worked around).

Closing as worksforme; Please create a new ticket for any new issues.
