WP won't update to 3.8.3. Receiving "installation failed" error WordPress
- REFUNDED
I have a simple, personal blog/website. It's not a business/commercial site.
WP keeps telling me I need to update to 3.8.3, but AutoUpdate keeps failing when trying to update. I'm using a MacBook Air and 1and1.com for hosting services. I keep receiving the error below when trying to use AutoUpdate.
<em><strong>Warning: copy(/homepages/46/d393696298/htdocs/clickandbuilds/WordPress/MyBlog/wp-admin/includes/update-core.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /homepages/46/d393696298/htdocs/clickandbuilds/WordPress/MyBlog/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 200
Could not copy files.
Installation Failed</strong></em>
I've tried to use the WP help forums, but I'm not familiar with how to perform manual updates. The forums make is SOUND simple, but to someone who is not code-savvy, it's not. Any help is appreciated.

Check the folder and file permission.
Folder permission should be 755 . And file permission should be 644

Where do I find my folder/file permissions? (Laugh if you must. I seriously don't know.)
Arnav Joy comments:
In cpanel or ftp
darrick comments:
Is this the right location? (I changed file permission to 644. Didn't work.)
