I haven't given this the amount of time it probably needs, but I too 
cannot get the auto-upgrade to work. Part of it stems from wondering 
what to do with the original index.php from 1.2  as it needs splitting 
down maybe ? Either way I don't know where to put it.

The manual guide I have done is being tested this weekend by a friend 
(last test) and so far it has worked very well.

Given the diversity of the skillset of users, along with server 
configurations, I don't think we should be giving users any excuse to 
blame code for their blog detonating at upgrade. For that reason, I 
think any such auto-upgrade should come with huge warnings. In fact, 
encode the instructions. If they can't decode they can't handle it.

The manual way does work.

I'm not dissing anyone's work here - esp Ryan's - I'm just saying it as 
I see the forums reacting.
