How to: Upgrade your WordPress Blog in a Minute via SSH

Posted: 08 Dec 2008 02:00 AM CST

Having to upgrade your WordPress install every time a new version is released is necessary, but also very boring. If you have a SSH access to your server, here’s a very quick way to upgrade your WordPress install.

This is probably the most important step of this whole tutorial: always backup your WP Database and files. This tutorial have been tested, however I won’t be held responsible for any kind of data loss.

Once done, you can connect to your server by using SSH. On Mac and Linux platform you can use the Terminal, on Windows I recommend using Putty.

Get the latest WordPress version available:

wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

Uncompress it:

tar xfz latest.tar.gz

Delete the wp-admin and wp-includes directories:

rm -rf ./wp-includes/ rm -rf ./wp-admin/

Go to the wordpress directory:

cd wordpress/

Now, it’s time to copy the downloaded files to your existing WP install, by overwriting old files:

cp -rpf -f * ../

Once done, come back to the Wordpress directory and remove the downloaded files:

cd .. rm -rf ./wordpress/ rm -f latest.tar.gz

Visit your blog and upgrade the database (if needed). That’s all, your blog is now up to date and the whole process didn’t took more than a minute or two!

For more WordPress tips and tricks, you should definitely take a look at my blogs WpRecipes and Cats Who Code!

Bond Screenplay Sells for £46k

Posted: 08 Dec 2008 12:31 AM CST

The screenplay for a James Bond film that was never made on the big screen was sold at auction for £46,000.

Warhead, which was written by Sean Connery, author Len Deighton and producer Kevin McClory never reached the big screen because of legal problems. According to the BBC, the script included "robot sharks attempting to plant a nuclear bomb in sewers underneath New York".

The lot was part of Christie's Pop Culture: Entertainment Memorabilia auction. The script was only expected to sell for around £3,000. Christie’s Katherine Williams said “Numerous lots far exceeded pre-sale expectations, demonstrating the continued appeal and durability of the pop culture market.”

James Bond, robotic sharks and nuclear bombs – what more could you ask for in a script??

60 Minutes recap alert

Monday, Dec. 8, 2008

 

If you missed Sunday's 60 Minutes, here's a recap of our broadcast:

 

The Oil Kingdom

Despite the pledge of President-elect Barack Obama and others to lessen America's use of foreign oil, Saudi Arabia - the world’s largest oil supplier - isn’t worried. That's what Saudi officials told Lesley Stahl when she visited the oil kingdom and toured its vast petroleum facilities, which are gearing up to produce even more.

Watch part one and part two.



Schnabel

His painting took the art world by storm in the 1980s and then Julian Schnabel reinvented himself as a film director to more kudos. Morley Safer profiles this titan of art and film.

 

Watch it now.

 

 

Plus, spend a few minutes with Andy Rooney.

 

60 Minutes, every Sunday at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
