So I can't install plugins through wordpress. I also can't upgrade through wordpress.
This wasn't an issue when I had 2.7.1 but when I upgraded to 2.8 it started happening.
Just yesterday, I deleted my Database and removed wordpress and reinstalled it and I still get the same issue.
Downloading install package from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/si-captcha-for-wordpress.zip.
Unpacking the package.
Installing the plugin.
Could not create directory. /misc/42/000/191/407/1/user/web/(website url here)/wp-content/plugins/(plugin name)/
Plugin Install Failed.
I started using FTP for a while to get around it but it's getting pretty annoying.

you have to make your wp-content writable. use your windows commander or whatever soft u use for your uploads on the ftp, right click on the folder called wp-content and change attributes to 777. Then upload... Change back to 644 when you are done.
chmod /wp-content to 777
try the upload
chmod back to 755
should continue working

I'm Using Core FTP and it won't let me change the permissions on my desktop, I can change them on the web server but it doesn't work that way.

Okay, So I tried making it 777 then 755 but I get the same result. The problem is that I can't make it 777 then upload then change to 755. What FTP clients are you using that let's you change the permissions on your desktop before you upload.
