 * I thought I’d let you guys know that the other blog on the same server just started
   giving me the error. That’s cool, since I already have a cure. :). demetris is
   right to say that it is due to some server setups.

 * [@ryan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryan/) : Both blogs are hosted on
   the same host and the same server but exhibit opposite behaviour with regard 
   to this bug.
 * [@demetris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/demetris/) : Alright. Even though
   they’re both on the same server, I’ll let the other installation be the way it
   is till it starts going crazy on me(if ever).
 * Thank you once again, both of you.

 * Brilliant! Thank you so much Ryan. I overwrote http.php and the plugin installs
   seem to function correctly now.
 * Hope you don’t mind if I ask a dumb question. Should I replace http.php on another
   WP 2.8 blog installation that is not showing the bug just as a precaution or 
   is it really not required?

 * I’ll tweet about this. Lets see if I can draw some attention.
 * Another thing I’ve noticed, if you download the plugin ZIP to your PC and then
   upload it using the upload plugin feature in the dashboard, it installs correctly
   without any error whatsoever.

 * Weird bug it is. Like I pointed out after further diagnosis that it is infact
   not related to any of the plugins. While everything works flawlessly on another
   blog, this blog gives the error when trying to install plugins and upgrading 
   them. Themes work perfectly while upgrading and installing. 2.7 used to work 
   perfectly. Anyone know how to file an official bug report regarding this?

 * WP Greet Box is not causing the error. I apologize for the confusion due to my
   previous statement. I tried installing a plugin through the plugin browser and
   I was returned with this error:
 *     ```
       Downloading install package from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/yet-another-related-posts-plugin.3.0.5.zip.
   
       Unpacking the package.
   
       Incompatible archive PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Invalid archive structure
       ```
   
 * and this is when WP Greet Box is disabled as well. I do not think this is a server
   issue because another blog is installed on the very same server and gives no 
   such errors.
 * Another interesting thing that I’ve noted is that no errors I returned while 
   trying to upgrade a theme or install a new theme via the theme browser. It only
   happens with the plugins. And this time, even disabling the plugins has not helped.
   Any help would be appreciated.

 * Alright arzlonga, I think I’ve found the cure. Do you by any chance have the 
   WP Greet Box plugin running on your blog? If you have the “WP Greet Box” plugin
   running, disable it and then try to upgrade your plugins. I think it somehow 
   messes up with the system. I’m not 100% certain though.
 * **UPDATE:**
    To test out what I had pointed, I specifically installed WP Greet
   Box on a WP 2.8 blog that did not have it previously. I then tried to upgrade
   the plugins. It went and finished the operation smoothly. No problems with WP
   Greet Box. But what I do know is that the error we get is resolved for me by 
   either disabling all the plugins or the greet box plugin and then upgrading the
   plugins that I want to.

 * I’m having exactly the same problem with my blog. I can’t figure out how to upgrade
   the plugins as I keep getting this error.
 *     ```

 * and the day it happens, I’m dumping my own customzed version mentioned in this
   post and switching to Reloaded.. this is one option I can’t use StatPress without
   and thus had to implement it myself as I couldn’t find a ready solution anywhere.
   And if you could, please add some optional warning message or implement it as
   an option with a checkbox in the settings so that people don’t accidently empty
   their tables. I was too lazy to figure that out when I whipped up my version 
   of Statpress.
 * Thanks for taking the pains to keep the plugin alive.

 * I’m encoutering the same problem since the 16th of April. I upgraded to WP 2.5
   and installed a plugin called wassup. after that, I installed another plugin 
   for google analytics. The next day I noticed the WP-Stats showing nothing whereas
   the other two plugins showed me details of the traffic to my website. I reinstalled
   the plugin but it fails to work.
