Hi,
Recently I tried to update the Droplet I’ve installed from the image with wordpress installed, to version 3.8, but failed, below is the error messages I received:
Downloading update from https://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.8-new-bundled.zip…
Unpacking the update…
The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to copy some files. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.: wp-admin/includes/update-core.php
Installation Failed
May I know whether your side would be able to help? Or it’s beyond your responsibilities?
Thanks.
Cheers, Jenson

@admin: Run the follownig command as well, does that fix it? <br><pre>sudo chown -R www-data /path/to/wordpress</pre>
Make sure all of the files & directories in your WordPress web directory is owned by <code>www-data:www-data</code>. To check, execute: <br><pre>ls -la /path/to/WordPress/Installation/</pre> <br>and make sure there is no <code>root:root</code> sprinkled in there.
