  1. I experienced the same problem and got the same error message as Jef. To fix it do the following:

    Open wp-config.php and delete/remove/comment out these lines of code:

        define('FS_METHOD','direct');
    define('FS_CHMOD_DIR',0777);
    define('FS_CHMOD_FILE',0666);

    Now add these lines of code:

        define('FS_CHMOD_DIR', (0755 & ~ umask()));
    define('FS_CHMOD_FILE', (0644 & ~ umask()));

    Save and upload wp-config.php. Go to your dashboard and run the update. You will be asked for your ftp user name and password.
