UPDATE: I’ve submitted a ticket regarding this problem.
https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/attachment/ticket/31378/

I would recommend this (one time) safer solution here:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/cant-upgrade-vom-41-to-411?replies=10#post-6589194

That’s much safer than messing around with CHMOD permissions.

@borstenhorst; the workaround that randymelder mentions is perfectly useable for this (one time) update.
Instead of submitting your FTP credentials using a form they will be “preloaded” from your wp-config.php.

Add (and edit) these lines to your wp-config.php:

define( 'FTP_USER', 'ftpusername' );
define( 'FTP_PASS', 'ftppassword' );
define( 'FTP_HOST', 'ftp.hostname.net:21' );

Add them just before /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

Delete those 3 lines out of your wp-config.php once the update is finished.

I’m not familiar with WordPress Trac but as far as I can see this problem hasn’t been reported (yet).

I can confirm that randymelder’s workaround is working.
It’s not a permanent solution though.

@indie4u; as randymelder said, I didn’t get any message or problem after updating to 4.1.1.

We got the same problem at all our (Dutch) WordPress sites on a VPS.
The screen turns blank after submitting the FTP credentials. (screenshot)

WP_DEBUG shows nothing and the solution mentioned above (FS_METHOD) returns “Could not create directory. Installation Failed“. (screenshot – Dutch message)
Switching to the default language (en_US) also results in “Could not create directory. Installation Failed“.

Sidenote; updating manually works fine (so far) but that’s not a solution.

After some reading I found out, since 2.0 will be supporting WPML, it will automatically support Polylang too according to the Polylang documentation.

Alright, thanks so far.

Is there any possibility that you could send me the 2.0 (beta)?
If so, you can mail it to info|a|boerboer.nl
