Common problem while upgrading WordPress, lately when I click on automatic upgrade, I’m having problems with memory allocation, this upgrade (2.8.5), the same problem that I had on last versions of WordPress. I had to download the diff file and patch it, now here the solution:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2354671 bytes) in ../public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/http.php on line 1331
How to fix the upgrade problem of WordPress, first, you have to open your FTP client on the folder the blog is and open wp-config.php and add this under MySQL setting sections and you add this.
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
Click on upgrade and the problem got fixed! Good luck!
