Deleted the upgrade folder etc, as per previous post.
Still get the message:
Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress‐3.1.1.zip…
Unpacking the update…
Verifying the unpacked files…
Installing the latest version…
Could not copy file.: /public_html/wp-admin/css/theme-editor.dev.css
Installation Failed
Same problem, fresh install of 3.1 failing on update in same fashion through autoupdate
I read through esmi’s link….
seems that everyone is fixing this if they’re using cPanel/WHM to change their ftp server service, didn’t notice any mention of a permissions fix being successful
i don’t have the ftp option as we aren’t using cPanel
stuck at 3.1 for now
@4x4geocachers: you need to switch from Pure-ftpd to Proftp. Or carry out a manual upgrade.
i’m convinced that proftp is needed, but wonder if you or anyone knows why? we didn’t have problems before and i’ve gone through every menu on my server and have found no possible way to switch (from my feeble understanding anyway)…
basically, what’s so “heavy” about this theme-editor.dev.css?
hello there i need help…
i just want to know what php file to edit and how edit to swap title post,
my post found in google but it goes to tag,category what i want is the title of the post will display if they click they goto the post directly.
thanks

It appears to be a server configuration issue. Or at the very least, server specific.
@newbiemetoo: It is considered impolite to try and highjack another poster’s thread. Please post a new topic.
It appears to be a server configuration issue. Or at the very least, server specific.
So as I am unable to switch from Pure-ftpd to Proftp, what is the correct server configuration, and how do I get it done?
At this time, I have no idea of what the “right” server configuration is – although I think the WP core devs are still try to test the updating system out on any many servers as possible to try and isolate/correct the problems. In the meantime, all I can suggest is that you try to carry out a manual upgrade.
Not really resolved (as automatic update keeps failing), and I am unable to upgrade to switch from Pure-ftpd to Proftp.
Manual upgrade steps were easy to follow, and my site is now upgraded.
What happened to the “easy to update” feature that WordPress boasts about? It is practically impossible to update, with having a degree in computer science. My update attempts don’t work, no error message, no explanation why, just a permanent message that I need to update to 3.1.1., even after all info for an auto update has been entered correctly.
I could try a manual update, but I don’t have time to horse around with wordpress all day. It would be great if they could fix this, or at least provide clear instructions on how. Many posts on related subjects are written in geek, and impossible to understand.
Frustrated!
