Hello,

I'm manually trying to upgrade 3 plugins but without success.

I've donwloaded ajaxim.5134.zip, blogs.5195.zip, friends.5134.zip and uncompressed into ow_plugins/ folder rewritting the previous ones.

When I enter in the admin panel I see again "Plugin updates available: 3" and don't ask me to upgrade the database.

I've done the same procedure with mailbox plugin and has worked regoularly.

I've also put a new plugin that I want to install in ow_plugins (ocs_slider) but I don't see it in available plugins on the admin page.

Can anyone help me?

Thankyou, Gianluca

PS I've problems with the automatic update (write files permission)

Go to your database > ow_base_plugin, find the record with the plugin you want to update and change the value in 'revision' column from current to previous. I can provide more details if we have more information about versions of plugins.

Today I was working on the admin area with define('OW_DEBUG_MODE', true); in config.php and I see a permission error message while the system tryed to write to the folder ow_plugins. I've change the permission recursively on the folder from rwxr-xr-x to 777 and immediately system notify me that plugins are changed and need to update the database.

Now it's all ok and I've found also ocs_slider plugin in the available plugins lists.

I've also discovered why ftp update don't work. I don't have ftp.so library in my centos 5.8 system!

Thank you for your advice Michael if I will encounter again this problem I will try your suggestion :-)
