Hi,

That file is created by the webserver user. Dont worry about it, will not cause any issue in your install.

thanks for the prompt reply.

seems like that particular file (or similar like that ) would prevent the auto-update from happening.

any suggestions that i can take care of this issue?

regards
Ervin
