I'm actually using wordpress 2.6.3, and there' still the same "bug" by using getmyuid() instead of posix_getuid() ... ( In the /wp-admin/includes/file.php, it's around line 451 ) Hopefull 2.7 will take care of this :P Thanks a lot for this trick !

I submitted a ticket on the wordpress trac, maybe we can get this fixed once and for all. I came across this fix independently after searching the path that the check took.

Unless you're admin enough to do the ownership changes yourself, it probably won't go. (And I doubt any ISP will do it for you.) One workaround I am loath to mention is to make the directories world writable, which would work, but open you up to anyone else on the box monkeying with your stuff. LastOne,

I used your solution on my page. The only thing is, i could not execute the shell comments. The Files wich are uploaded by the plugin-update-function set the user nobody as owner of the upgraded files. Is there a chance that it is set to the ftp user i use by login?

It helped me solve the same problem I was having on a Windows box. The WP_TEMP_DIR option works. Just make sure that it is defined after ABSPATH in the WP-CONFIG file. And then create the temp folder of choice and give it write/delete permissions. In addition the WP-CONTENT folder needs to be given write/delete permission too. Unfortunately, I believe following these steps via a typical web host's control panel pretty much makes important sections of WordPress open to the world. Not a good thing. But knowing what's going on now might lead me to a better solution. Or I could just switch to Linux :-) Thanks for this post! It helped me solve the same problem I was having on a Windows box.
