   when i try to use WP2.5's automatic update plugin feature, it returns me this error, saying that the getmyuid() and fileowner() functions have been disabled on file.php

   what can I do? I already tried to search the net for a solution, but nothing came up!

   I'll look into it and see if i can find a workaround for it.

   In the meantime, You may edit wp-admin/includes/file.php and change the function get_filesystem_method() to this : (It should be at the bottom of the file)
   

   function get_filesystem_method() {
   	if ( extension_loaded('ftp') ) return 'ftpext';
   	if ( extension_loaded('sockets') || function_exists('fsockopen') ) return 'ftpsockets'; //Sockets: Socket extension; PHP Mode: FSockopen / fwrite / fread
   	return false;
   }

   So just remove this from the function:
   

   $tempFile = tempnam(get_temp_dir(), 'WPU');
   
   	if ( getmyuid() == fileowner($tempFile) ) {
   		unlink($tempFile);
   		return 'direct';
   	} else {
   		unlink($tempFile);
   	}

   Hopefully it'll then work for you. Allthough, chances are, it'll run into another security disabled warning furthur down. I'm looking into a work around solution.

   it actually passed that problem. but didn't work fully for some reason. I tried to update google analytics for wp, here's the output.

   Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/google-analytics-for-wordpress.2.5.zip
   
   Unpacking the update
   
   Deactivating the plugin
   
   Removing the old version of the plugin
   
   Installing the latest version
   
   Installation failed

   and actually, it removed the plugin ¬¬ gotta reinstall and reconfigure it now..
