    I have an issue when trying to automatically upgrade all my blogs. It has some error along the lines of can’t copy or something like that.

    If I login via ftp and delete the /wp-content/upgrade/wordpress-2.8.3/ folder, then the automatic update works. I have had to manually remove this folder in the upgrade folder every time I use the automatic update. Any idea why I am having to do this? I do not have the automatic upgrade plugin and never have.

    make sure the /tmp folder is writable

    /tmp for my domain or in wordpress somewhere? I don’t see that folder as part of wordpress.

    it should be outside wp-content folder.

    can you provide the exact error message?

    Here is an error I get when trying to upgrade a plugin. It all seems like the same issue as upgrading the core.

    Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/all-in-one-seo-pack.zip.

    Unpacking the update.

    Could not copy file /public_html/wp-content/upgrade/all-in-one-seo-pack/all-in-one-seo-pack/all_in_one_seo_pack-pt_BR.mo

    Here is the error I get when trying to update to 2.8.5 from 2.8.4

    ——
    Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.8.5.zip.

    Unpacking the update.

    Could not copy file: /public_html/wp-content/upgrade/wordpress-2.8.5/wordpress/wp-comments-post.php

    Installation Failed

    I looked in the upgrade folder and there is a folder called wordpress-2.8.4 in there. If I delete this folder, the auto update works. Why do I have to manually delete a folder in order to automatically update?
