logged into ssh
downloaded the latest version
unzipped it
moved all old files to one temporary folder (except the config file)
moved all new files to site root
ran upgrade script
moved all plugins, theme, images back to their original location..
I also upgraded mine.. thanks deep for the info… it took me nearly half hour… i accidently deleted my wp-login file and was not able to login… but fortunately i had backed up that file… so the issue was closed with happily ever after scenario…
I did upgrade in a strange way…i dont know if i did it correctly.
I backedup all the data
then i copied over the new version over the old one except for the index and config file.
later i tried to log in and everything worked fine.
i check for the verion of wp and it shows 2.0.2
so did i do it correctly? or I goofedup ?
damn frihost is down but i will do it asap

How long will it take to upgrade manually? I usually use Fantastico,but it takes a long time to realize that theres an update

thanks but this process might take hours for me as I still run on dialup.

John it won’t.. The files aren’t too heavy.. And you can disable images.

Just drag & Drop using UR FTP!
Never mind the config.php! (WP doesn’t has one)
Was I stupid in saying that? :-/

YES!!
SSH takes 2 mins and FTP upload takes more than 10 mins since thare are MANY files…
