   This works GREAT.

   I tested in on http://blog.davidsm.com and http://wiki.davidsm.com (but the later has not too much content) and worked SMOOTHLY, FAST AND GREAT!

   Thankyou very much!

   Great :)

   It works perfectly.
   It’s really useful when you have hundreds joomla/blogs…

   There is just one missing feature now : auto update.

   Something that auto update when there is a new version.
   So the website will never have security hole.

   That is so awesome I can hardly stand it. Looking forward to giving it a test drive.

   Question - is there a One Click Downgrade in case hte One Click Upgrade hoses it?

   Oooops, talked too fast.

   After updating joomla i get this error on my site :
   “For your security please completely remove the installation directory including all files and sub-folders - then refresh this page”

   I just deleted /installation directory and it works fine.

   It would be great to delete this folder automatically after update.

   What about if when I first setup Wordpress I didn’t use the one-click install? Would the one-click upgrade still work?

    Looks like this blog template needs to be updated. Isn’t showing comments on main page.

    You guys would have to wait 2 days after I did it by hand to implement one-click upgrades…

    Just kidding! Thanks a bunch.

    OH SNAP ONE CLICK UPGRADES

    Absolutely GLORIOUS! Now I have no excuse to not run the most recent versions of the software behind my sites. Thank you! Unlike my brethren up there, I’m a slackass and had been hoping this would happen. ^_^

    upgrade from mediawiki 1.4.4 to 1.5 didn’t work (db-errors, some tables didn’t exist), had to move back. site was offline quite a while..

    Whoa, for a sec I thought you meant you’d upgraded my university blog! Wow. Thanks though guys!

    Works…sorta. Hey I know it’s beta!

    I originally developed the DM site/blog in a subdirectory below root then moved it into “production”. The upgrade installer still thinks it’s there below root. So - it didn’t really work for me. I ended up manually updating to 2.0.

    But still - Dreamhost ROCKS! Especially you Josh.

    When will you have 2.0.1 available for the upgrade?

    It all worked like a breeze. Thank you pals.

    Just a …. comment.
    I love the “No comments yet” of the newly largely commented posts.. Is that a WP 2.0 new feature?
    :-)
    2nd thoght, they qhouldn’t put a “s” on comment when there is none. :-)

    >> 2nd thoght, they qhouldn’t put a “s” on comment when there is none. :-)

    I hate “u”s please read “thought”
    I hate “s”s as well. Should read “shouldn’t”
    Sorry

    Wow, this worked beautifully on my site, even with my semi-kludged template. Very very cool. I am mucho impressedo.

    Huzzah! My laziness paid off big time this round. I had been fearing the upgrade process.

    Thanks folks, I’m off to try it now. After backing up though.

    2¢: Actually, it’s just as correct to say “No Comments” and in my opinion, it sounds better. “No Comment” is what you say to reporters during the perp-walk. While on the subject of the perp-walk “No Comment”, isn’t that kind of a paradoxical statement, since it in itself is a sort of comment?

    Still, both “No Comments” and “No Comment” become incorrect when in fact there are comments. I think this should be one of the first bugs to get fixed, as it is most noticeable and confusing to the average user (me).

24. Lee-Roy Says:

    Hey Y’all,

    The Comment (and other bugs) seem to have been fixed by the new wordpress 2.0.1, released about a week ago. The one-click installer is up to date and will install this version, not 2.0.

    [...] I can’t imagine a better web host. I really can’t. As if I wasn’t already borderline fanatical about them, Dreamhost goes and adds one-click upgrade functionality to their control panel. Sweet! Now I can upgrade all my blogs in 30 seconds instead of an hour. I bet your web host doesn’t do that! I bet your web host’s newsletter isn’t as fun to read as this, either! Muahahah! [...]
