Upgrading wordpress from the wp admin panel. How?

Hi, I have major problems getting wordpress running properly with the LAMP settings found in the wiki. Thing is, the wordpress blog runs fine, but fails when updateing, installing or upgrading from the wordpress admin panel.

I've tried chown http:http, rataxes:rataxes, root:root and even a recursive chmod 777 /srv without succeding to update via the panel. Wordpress just says: "An unknown error occurred" when installing plugins. When upgrading I get wordpress's ftp update form in which I can't figure out what to enter.

I know some of you think it's a wordpress problem, it may partly be so, but the thing is it's only happening on my newly installed Arch machine. Any clues?

Have a look at PHP's error log (should be located at /var/log/user.log). My guess is that you need to set "allow_url_fopen" to "On" in /etc/php/php.ini.

That's one hell of a good guess! Muchos besos!
