Hi Manhar. We need more details like what errors you receive? Screenshots and details on what plugins you were trying to update would help.

ya dear developer that's the main point we have updated the site to 1.2.6 from admin panel (auto update) successfully with few other plugins as well but not six plugins they are showing the error as stated above... :( and ya 

 its enabled on the server.
allow_url_fopen On


Please help to resolve it ASAP cause if you release new version then the risk will increase and also chance of site crash..

How are you updating the plugins? Manually upload them then head over to the plugin area and you will be prompted to update them.

what exactly happened stated below again

# we got update notification for both core as well as for plugins
 
# we decided to update hence modified config.php and set 
define('OW_DEBUG_MODE', true);
define('OW_DEV_MODE', true);
define('OW_PROFILER_ENABLE', false);

#updated core to 1.2.6 from admin panel (ie auto update - recommended)

update of core was successful

# then started to update plugins (there was more then 12 plugins update i think) through admin panel same as that of core update we succeed in all the plugins except - friends, blogs, groups, links, newsfeed and oxwall CS image slider were updated successfully as that of core.
but when ever we start autoupdating the above six plugins it gives the error msg as stated in above given screen shot.

# we checked that url_fopen is enabled on server as you asked for.

Please help on this issue asap as we like to be upto date with the oxwall.

Does your host meet the requirements?

http://www.oxwall.org/hosting  (right hand side)

Have you tried doing this with dev and debug mode false?

Are you just clicking update? Or are you downloading them from the store then unpacking them and uploading them via FTP to the correct folders then updating them in the admin panel?

Manhar or idea (not sure who is in charge), send me your FTP, phpMyAdmin and Admin Panel access details so that I could check into the issue.

Check chmod on the folders is set right?
Try manually updating the plugins using ftp see if that works?
idea
idea Dec 15 '11
#ya they have proper chmod

#when tried first time uploading through ftp manually plugin updated asked for "update dbase" clicked yes.. all the data of the plugin lost (LInk plugin)..! (dev_mode and debug mode kept true and core software with few more plugins were updated with auto update perfectly and successful also..!)

#when tried second time rest of 6 plugins that not updated through auto update, tried to update them through ftp manual keeping dev mod and debug mod true all plugins updated successfully with out loss of data...!

#surprisingly .htaccess file content were erased automatically accept index file each thing on the site didn't worked. then replaced that file with the old .htaccess file having its natural code. the site worked as it should be.

still have few questions that are remain as they were..

# why auto update of plugins didn't worked?
# why whole data erased when i updated "link" plugin manually keeping dev_mode true.?
#why .htaccess file got empty?
#why still my theme is not working properly (check - current theme is grafite+sidebar but there is no sidebar..!)?

at current stage there is now no way to resolve this issue as i updated them through ftp
still following question remains unsolved
#why it didn't downloaded the file?
#why the data were deleted during ftp update?

It is difficult to answer those questions w/o having an option to check into the issue. We'll keep monitoring the issue and will let you know if we have any news regarding this report.
