 * Hi, I’m trying to update few plugins but over and over again I’m getting same
   errors.
 * First my config info:
    I’m using LiteSpeed web server 4.0.15, PHP 5.2.13 and 
   MySQL server 5.0.90.
 * So when I click update or install plugin it almost always hangs on this error:
 *     ```
       Downloading install package from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wordpress-23-related-posts-plugin.1.2.zip… 
   
       Unpacking the package…
       ```
   
 * And if i check in wp-content/upgrade/plugin name I see all files are uncpacked.
   
   I found temp solution [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/291979](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/291979)
   almost 1 year old which suggests wordpress is broken and that if you would like
   to auto update to work you need to delete “upgrade” directory from wp-content
   plugin.
 * If I delete that directory one new plugin would indeed install properly, but 
   later on I would encounter same problem. So i would need to delete “upgrade” 
   directory to proceed to new plugin.
    And if I would like to update plugin, it
   doesn’t hang anymore at: “unpacking the package” but at: “Installing the plugin…”.
 * Anyone has any ideas or tips what can I do? I tried to turn on debugging to see
   what is going on, but it seems like server is not catching any errors.

 * Check file permissions.
    Also you could have plugin conflicting. Next time maybe
   try disabling all plugins and then do an upgrade (they don’t need to be activated
   to update) and see what happens.
