 * I keep receiving the error while trying to upgrade to 3.1.4 from 3.1.3:
 * **Warning: copy(/var/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentyten/loop.php) [function.
   copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/wordpress/wp-admin/
   includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 200**
 * Not particularly fond of the idea of a manual upgrade =/ Anyone got any ideas?
 * I’m using the TurnKey Linux WordPress virtual appliance on a VMware ESXi server.
   Thanks in advance 🙂

 * Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still
   have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the
   permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works
   OK.
