• When installing any plugin, I am stuck at “unpacking the package” message.
    Tried increasing the memory to 128 MB available to php, and also done same in WP memory constants.
    Also tried adding php5 handler, but nothing happens.
    Finally I decided to debug the code.
    Found that in wp-admin/class-wp-upgrader.php, all lines containing code $this->skin->feedback() were causing a freeze.
    After removing $this->skin->feedback() or replacing them with echo, I was able to get plugin installation working.

    I have give 777 permission to plugin and upgrade directories also.
    I am using kloxo control panel. When I was using cpanel all was fine.
    If someone has some idea please help. I am using WP 3.2.1.

  • Giving 777 to any part of a WP install is a major security issue…if your host cannot achieve your goals with default WP permisions, fire them.

    Agree, but I am running my own VPS.
    I will take care of the permissions once I get this issue sorted.
    I want to know what is missing, i.e. what can be more reasons of this problem?
