Built-in plugin updater not working properly.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working with my WP install for about a month now, and the major niggle I’ve been having is with the plugin updater. I have about 9, 10 plugins installed on my site, and as far as I know, none of them are able to upgrade automatically when I attempt to do so.

It loads the update page and shows something along the lines of:

“Downloading <plugin name>…”
“Unpacking <plugin name>…”

And nothing after that. Looking in FTP I can see that the plugin files have been downloaded, but they just won’t update at all. I tried using the bulk updater under Tools > Upgrade, and after setting my blog into Maintenance mode it did exactly the same thing, and I had to wait for it to reset itself.

It’s only a little thing, and I can run my site without it, I just kind of want to get it fixed.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!
