   I've had the similar problems others had where the automatic upgrade to 3.2.1 gets hung up "unpacking the update"

   I have tried a manual install, and also deleting the "upgrade" folder as suggested by John P. at One Man's Blog here.

   Problem is this: cannot delete, cannot overwrite thru FTP. Do not have the correct permissions. And, I cannot change them. My WordPress install is located in a folder /wp. I can change permissions on other files or folders outside of that in my FTP client, but I can't do a thing with the wp folder or anything inside it.

   Any ideas?

   Thanks.

   The wp folder itself is 777
   wp-content folder is 755
   upgrade folder (inside the wp-content) is 755
   (the wordpress-3.tmp thru wordpress-33.tmp files, representing my 4 attempts at doing the auto upgrade, are 644, can't delete them either.)

   Hi Govpatel,

   My host provider did something on the server that I can now do a manual install. I don't know what, but I can delete and overwrite now.

   Yes, the original installation was some kind of an automatic installation. Would that have had something to do with it?

   The upgrade has presented a new problem, however. My widgets are gone in the admin. Sigh. I will search and post. This upgrade has been very bumpy so far.

   Thanks again.
