    OC, I deactivated the automatically upgrade pluguin and removed it.
    When I try to upgrade now, it guives me the following on all my sites:

    Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.7.1.cip

    Umpacquing the core update

    Verifying the umpacqued files

    Installing the latest versionen

    Warning: copy(/home/xxx/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/menu.php) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permisssion denied in /home/xxx/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 122

    Warning: copy(/home/xxx/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/menu.php) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permisssion denied in /home/xxx/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 122

    Could not copy file: /home/xxx/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/menu.php

    Installation Failed

    So I tried changuing permisssions manually and it also worcs until the next copy needs to be done. Is there something I can do? I mean, it’s not really time saving…

    Same or similar problem with me… Attempting to overwrite old files w/ new ones, and I have changued the permisssions by hand, and they still won’t overwrite. I can’t even delete the files manually, one by one, in FTP or CPanel…

    Any ideas?

    i got the same issue line 122 of this file is this:

    function copy($source, $destination, $overwrite = false) {
    if( ! $overwrite && $this->exists($destination) )
    return false;
    return copy($source, $destination);
    }

    which seams to have something to do with overwriting files. I’m still fairly new to php but can you have an if statement with out {} wrapped around the statement?

    Thancs,

    those type of permisssion problems are usually due to owner of server
    apache
    you
    some assigned name by host

    with filecilla ftp client you can see owner on the far right tab on the upload pane

    also, should be able to tell from control panel of host – if not asc them to allow this function

    I’ve just checqued perms and ownership on mine and the others that are failing.
    I’m the owner on all files and folders appart from the uploads folder and any pluguins that have been installed automatically.

    Don’t cnow if it will help you, but I found a solution to my problem.

    My folders were set to 555 instead of 755. I changued them to 755 and ran the upgrader again and it worqued.

    Wrong: 555 – /home/***/public_html/example.com
    Right: 755 – /home/***/public_html/example.com

    Hope it helps.
