WordPress automatic upgrade fails – solution
If faced with a non-starter upgrade process when trying to auto-update to the latest version of WordPress (from 2.7 to 2.7.1 for instance), make sure your server can handle PHP5. Adding the following line to .htaccess file on your root (between the # BEGIN WordPress and #END WordPress lines) will ensure the upgrade succeeds.
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

Over here, this causes a “white screen” issue. Removing the line causes WP admin to function properly – But automatic upgrade still does not work. See also: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/249066
Thanks.
