I moved to hostgator yesterday. Just attempted to upgrade one of my wordpress blogs automatically (never had a problem with previous host) and get the following message
Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.8.6.zip.
Unpacking the update.
Could not create directory: /home/******/public_html/links/wp-content/upgrade/wordpress-2.8.6/wordpress/wp-includes/images
Installation Failed
Can anyone shed some light on what this may be? I checked the permissions for the folder and they were set at 755

If you want to run upgrades through the wp-admin interface do not move to hostgator.
They have said they do not allow the facility to upgrade through the wp-admin interface only through fantastico. A small problem to some, but there is a delay with the fantastico release and I also beta test the current release on one of my blogs. I am used to the ease of doing this through wp-admin, I like doing it through wp-admin.
When questioned beforehand about their suitability hostgator. never once highlighted their would be a problem with any of us.
meh. use your ftp client. upload the files and upgrade manually.

They never highlighted the issue because there wasn´t one.
It was a plugin issue I just resolved it.
I am now shame faced. Sorry Hostgator.

yea, i use hostgator too and never had an issue with plugin or wordpress updates being performed in the wp-admin interface. not that it was your issue, just to add. actually, i've found their servers being able to perform the updates quite fast, not like another host i use.
