Subscribe? Sure? What for?WordPress FTP update trouble29 December 2009, 05:12:17 |  |
Sometimes when you update wordpress or plugins, especially if you use safe mode, you can get errors like this:
That’s because wordpress uses strange things for temporary directory.
To cure it with non intrusive methods, just add
to the bottom of your wp-config-file.
That’s it.
Took me about two hours to figure out -_-
Enabling Maintenance mode.
Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/all-in-one-seo-pack.zip.
wp-content/uploads/all-in-one-seo-pack.tmp
Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Unable to create file wp-content/uploads/all-in-one-seo-pack.tmp because No such file or directory in ***/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 185
Download failed. Could not create Temporary file
That’s because wordpress uses strange things for temporary directory.
To cure it with non intrusive methods, just add
define(‘WP_TEMP_DIR’,ABSPATH.’wp-content/uploads/’);
to the bottom of your wp-config-file.
That’s it.

Thanks,
I’m using wp3 in multisite mode
I created a temp dir with 777 permissions
define(‘WP_TEMP_DIR’,ABSPATH.’wp-content/temp/’);
and it solved the problem.

Thanks a million, this solved a plugin update issue for me, I spent hours messing around with permissions before I found your fix.
So if anyone gets a “cannot find wp-content” error when trying to auto-update plugins use this fix
