I have about 14 wordpress sites, I’ve really enjoyed working with the application. The admin side of the site makes it so easy to create a one of a kind website easy, and no issue to update.

The newer updates in wordpress have included an “auto update” making the upgrades a breeze. So I did the first no – no of the day and didn’t create a backup BEFORE I ran the update to 3.1 (you should always backup-BEFORE you make changes). You guessed it, my upgrade said it was a success… but.. my site is now dead.(I had to do it to two of my sites before I started to panic)

I found this little snip-it off the internet that worked for me:

I found an OpenSource project called Clonezilla (http://clonezilla.org/). This software does essentially the same thing as Norton Ghost, and there is also a version than can do distributed cloning (such as doing an install for a computer lab).

Error in my_thread_global_end(): 1 threads didn’t exit

I’m running Plesk 8.2 on windows 2003 with php 5.2.3 and MySQL I was getting the Error in my_thread_global_end(): 1 threads didn’t exit. I just went and got the PHP 5.2.1 version of “libmysql.dll” (Windows Binary) in http://www.php.net/releases/ and overwrite my local copy. Worked great!!

FYI- I did a search and found other version of “libmysql.dll” , make sure to only replace in the php folder.
