Update fails: …failed to open stream: Permission denied… | WordPress.org

Some sites upgraded to 3.6.1 flawlessly. However, on two sites, so far, updating to 3.6.1 results in this:

Warning: copy(/home/park/public_html/wp/wp-admin/includes/update-core.php) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/park/public_html/wp/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 200

What’s the easiest fix for this?

Thanks,
Keith

– Sounds like permission issue.
– Have you contacted your hosting provider?

Thanks, Tara,
Permission=777
No. It works fine on some sites on the same server.
I see no reason to believe it might be the host’s fault. Do you?

777 is pretty risky from a security standpoint.
Generally, folder should be 755 and files 644.

on two sites, so far, updating to 3.6.1 results in this:

On those site, tru manual update. Read the Manual Update directions first!

Honestly, I can’t remember! I believe it is not.

I got busy with other things and drifted from this issue. One thing on my winter to-do list is to update all WP sites, so I’ll find out.

Since I don’t know, I’ll mark it Resolved and reopen later if need be.
