    Code (markup):
    Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.2.1-partial-0.zip…

     Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Unable to create file /wordpress-3.tmp because Permission denied in /home/techfrea/public_html/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 177

    Warning: unlink(/wordpress-3.tmp) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/techfrea/public_html/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 489

     Download failed.: Destination directory for file streaming does not exist or is not writable. Installation Failed



    I keep getting this error. It has something to do with the temp folder, but I can't seem to fix it. I searched on google: http://craiglayne.com/blog/2011/04/...g-touch-function-touch-unable-to-create-file/

    But it didn't help me either. I'll pay someone to fix this. PM me or reply here...

    No need to pay for that... you just need to check the permissions for your repertories and files in your wordpress installation. They should be 755 recursive (means apply to subfolders and so on)

    are you trying the auto-upgrade? Have you tried to upgrade it manually by uploading those files to hosting space?

    Manual installation works but I want automatic installation to get working because I have plenty of plugins... Thanks for the suggestion though!

    My apologies for bumping an "old" post but I'm currently experiencing this issue as well. Was any resolution discovered? I've tried setting my permissions from 755 to 777 as well, no joy. Also I've verified that my site is not in any PHP safe mode.

    Update: I managed to resolve the issue by cutting the entire wordpress directory tree and moving it to another directory in the root. I then brought it back to the original location. Maybe the permissions just needed to be "reset" from a file structure point of view? I don't know for sure, I hope this will help others with this issue as its a very simple way to fix an apparently stubborn problem. :)
