    Hello all,

    I’m trying to update my plugins and I’m getting this error

    Update WordPress
Unpacking the update…

Warning: ZipArchive::open(): Empty string as source in /mounted-storage/home139/.../wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 581

Warning: unlink(): Invalid argument in /mounted-storage/home139/.../wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader.php on line 278
The package could not be installed.: PCLZIP_ERR_MISSING_FILE (-4) : Missing archive file ''

Installation Failed

    This is the first install, I’m using a shared hosting running Linux. The folder wp-content has the permissions setted in 755.

    Any clue regarding this? I cannot re-install WordPress because I’m having the same error 🙁

    Thanks in advanced!

    If auto updating did not work, then try manual updating of plugins:

    Not sure if I understand what you are trying to do.
    If you want to re-install WP, then why are you messing with plugins. Just delete everything and re-install (if that’s what you want).

    To the contrary if you are trying update your installation, then try MANUAL updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old copies of files & folder on your server before uploading the new ones. Read the Manual Update directions first.

    Thanks Tara for the reply.

    I did that, I update all the plugins manually but it’s very annoying.
    Also I delete everything and re-installed WP but without lucky, also in my local environment is failing.

    It’s weird because I’ve another WP running in the same hosting, but this one is failing for some reason 🙁

    You may also want to discuss this with your hosting provider
