 * Each time i try to update a plugin, or wp itself, i get a dialog just like this
   lines explains:
 * > Note that your files all need to be owned by the user under which your Apache
   > server executes, or you will receive a dialog box asking for “connection information,”
   > and you will find that no matter what you enter, it won’t work.
 * But what can i do to fix permissions? I already fixed them from my host’s CPanel,
   and it won’t work. I cannot upgrade wp to 2.8.4 because i get a connection error
   in my browser (not in wp, neither in my database, but in the browser).

 * you will need to get your host to do this as they are speaking about ownership
   of the server
 * show this to your host – they’ll know what to do
