This version seems to be more stable on the upgrade process, my experience on the upgrade is quite smooth process. And in the magento forum, there is a little less complaint on a faulty upgrade process. For upgrading better turn off the cache before run the upgrade process.

Yesterday, wordpress development has just announce the availability of Wordpress 2.7 RC1. This release should have brought the new icon from the Icon Design Contest, which was held last month. This release candidate are should be please many of the wordpress fans out there, since the 2.7 version is surely something that was worth waiting for.
I have just finished upgrading my 2.6.5 version of wordpress to this RC version in my other blog. And it looks like stable enough to be use in a live website. But of course, with so many changes in their administration screen layout some few plugins definitely will gonna need an update to be used with this release. The changes to the plugin, is should be quite minimal I believe. In my other blog the plugin that I have found need slight modification is All in One SEO Pack. Well it’s just a cosmetic modification, their input box is not blend correctly with the new 2.7 version editor screen layout. Some plugins that add button to the editor toolbar should also need to be checked.
In my other blog, when editing is made some times it throw an error of not finding the edited page. I’m not sure if it was a bug in this version, or is it because my connection to the server which was a bit unstable at the time I test the functionality. The upgrade process from 2.6.5 version to this RC1 version is run quite well, no problem arised in the process. But be carefull when you want to do the upgrade your own blog. Don’t forget to always do a full backup of your blog before you do it. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Just about today I tried the automatic upgrade process of Magento that was done through Magento Connect Manager screen. The upgrade process is quite straight forward and easy. After you get to the Magento Connect Manager screen, just enter “magento-core/Mage_All_Latest” to the Extension Key field and then click on Install New Extensions. After that the system will automatically upgrade all the file in your Magento installation. When it finished just click Refresh to see updated list of all Magento packages that was installed.
Well in my case, after the upgrade process the screen won’t show up. The store page also down, it only gave me “Internal Server Error” page. By looking at my server error log, shows that the server is complaining about the file permission on some files. It seems that the Magento Connect Manager has accidently change the permission to which is not supported or denied by the server. The file that was changed is “index.php” in your Magento root directory, and “index.php” in the downloader directory. Change them to “644″ or writeable only by user, and it should now able to run without problem.
Please remember to backup all your files and database before doing the upgrade process, especially when doing it on a production server. If you had encountered another problem regarding the upgrade, just head on Magento Upgrade Forum here.
update: After seeing more into the logfile it seems that many file need have their permission check, especially the file named index.php.
