WordPress Auto Upgrade Failed – Installation Failed

by Raghu on January 7, 2012

Worpdress Upgrade/Installation failed while trying to upgrade this site to WordPress 3.3.1

 

Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.3.1-no-content.zip…

Unpacking the update…

Verifying the unpacked files…

Installing the latest version…

Could not copy file.: /public_html/index.php

Installation Failed

Folder/File Permissions

Typical wordpress upgrade failure from within wordpress Automatic updates are related to file/folder permissions.

Problem

wp-content folder owner was set to nobody

wp-content/upload owner was set to the FTP User.

I believe all the folder and files needs to have same ownership.
