I think the issue is the way WP is doing the update. It DOES create the first folder:
/www/zendsvr/htdocs/petesworkshop/blog_wp/wp-content/upgrade
but only with permissions for me, and PUBLIC *EXCLUDE (as it should be). So, if I add QTMHHTTP as a user and give it *RWX authority, it will then create the next folder and then choke:
/www/zendsvr/htdocs/petesworkshop/blog_wp/wp-content/upgrade/wordpress-3.tmp
Again, only *I* have authority to the folder the WP just created, so I have to add QTMHHTTP to the authorities and then the process will run, and choke, on the next step. And so on. So I think it is all running under my user profile so it only creates folders where I have permission which (somehow) doesn't allow WP to continue to run the update.

Googling turned up some other OS's and server configs where the same issue arises with no easy solution. I may ping the YiP's list and see if they have run into it.

Thanks.

I'm not familiar with how the IFS does inherited object permissions.

Could also give QTMHHTTP *ALLOBJ authority. Wouldn't recommend that,
but it would work :-)

subject: [WEB400] Zend Server and Wordpress Automatic Updates

Anyone using Zend Server with Wordpress and are able to get automatic
updates to work? I get a "Could not create directory:
/www/zendsvr/htdocs/petesworkshop/blog_wp/wp-content/upgrade/wordpress-3
.tmp"
error for every folder it attempts to create. The "missing link" is
that folders are created with *my* user ID and permissions and I think
Zend (or Apache) wants to have QTMHHTTP to have permission. Since I
cannot sign on with QTMHHTTP, I have to manually add the user to every
folder the WP update creates.

Any ideas here? I could do the manual update but I am curious to see if
anyone has a workaround to the problem.

Pete
