   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. ^_^

    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

    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).

    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! [...]
