This was going to be a post where I put up my latest Japanese homework (some diary entries). However, I noticed that WordPress needed to be updated, and stupidly, I actually tried it…

I think the problem is that the web server runs as a different user than my FTP user, so when I installed WordPress some of the files and directories are owned by my FTP user and some by the web server user. This causes problems when the web server tries to run the upgrade scripts.

Probably I should try and get all the files owned by one person, either by downloading the lot to my computer, deleting it on the server, then re-uploading (everything owned my me), or by writing a PHP script that will copy all the files (owned by the web server).

Owned by me is more secure; owned by the web server is more convenient. Choices, choices.

Incidentally, you should be able to see my diary entry here on lang-8.com, together with any corrections, should you feel the need.
