    I receive this error why I try to update to 2.7.1. Anyone know what to do? I already deactivated the WPAU plugin.

    Downloading update from https://www.ads-software.com/wordpress-2.7.1.zip

    Unpacking the core update

    Verifying the unpacked files

    Installing the latest version

  • It’s possible there’s a permission issue with your host so you may have to follow the Upgrading WordPress instructions to upgrade to 2.7.1

    I’m having this same problem. My first two are just like yours and the third says “Could not copy file: /home/path/public_html/path/wp-cron.php”

    No permission problems with my host though. The last automatic upgrade was not problematic.

    OK, I had to manually change almost all the files to 777 for the upgrade to work. So much for automatic.

    I am having same problem with two blogs versions 2.7 on two different servers. On one server the automatic upgrade stops after “unpacking”. When checking “automatic upgrade” again, WP says “I have the latest version” (still being 2.7…). On the other server, some “fatal errors” popping up. Sorry but something here is WRONG. First time to happen. Unless there is correction, I simply won’t upgrade. Any thoughts?

    OK, found it. Actually thanks to HandySolo. Solution: deactivate the automatic upgrade, then there is still an “upgrade” under tools. All OK suddenly. Weird. Does it mean this plugin is now no more needed?

    Victory too soon. On one server it’s OK, on the other one:

    So… Sorry but all the tips above are either “Chinese” for me or look impossible to do… Also I don’t understand what files should be changed to 777… Not exactly easy except for experts!
    Any “simple” advice?

    Further to the previous entry: when I tried to set the file mentioned to 777 I get “SITE CHMOD command failed”. The server I am using is not “as good” as the other one where the tip did work. Problem is, if I have to ask the service provider to change the setting to 777 which files should I request for them to do manually?
