# Admin CP error message ‘Couldn’t open plugins directory’

 * Earlier, I activated the ‘One Click Plugin Updater’ plugin. It gave me the option
   to upgrade all my plugins at once. I selected it and now the plugins control 
   panel gives me this error “Couldn’t open plugins directory or there are no plugins
   available.’
 * I deleted all my plugins and then downloaded wordpress 2.5.1 again and uploaded
   its plugins folder. I got the same error, so I re-uploaded the plugins.php file
   in wp-admin and the js file in wp-includes.
 * There are plugins in the wp-plugins file, but the plugin management panel is 
   still not recognizing them.
 * Any ideas how to fix this?
 * Thanks.
