I have installed a new Ubuntu server and have set everything up for WordPress.
I have also extracted mySite directory in the /var/www/ and did a
mysql -u mysqlusername -p databasename < blog.bak.sql to restore the data to the database.
It all worked smooth and works beautifully.
The only problem I have discovered is when I try to auto-update the plugins.

Well, I have never setup any FTP on my previous server. How comes this is now asking me this information? And yes I was able to auto-update plugs on my other server without a problem.
Thanks,
This is most likely because of file permissions on your server. WordPress needs to be able to write to the
wp-contentfolder. I highly suggest you read this article about changing file permissions for WordPress.You may also need to CHOWN the directory that contains WordPress to the user that your web server uses. More here.
