Unable to locate WordPress Content directory (wp-content).

HI there

I have this message when trying to update my plugins automatically ( WP 3.0.5): <strong>Unable to locate WordPress Content directory (wp-content)</strong>. I had the same message on my other website after upgrading WP but had no time to investigate and just did the upgrade via ftp. But now when I see the same info on the other site I start to wonder if this is a common info? Do you know how to fix this? Thanks

Ok, I done this; here is what worked for me:
1. add this code to wp-config:

if(is_admin()) {
add_filter('filesystem_method', create_function('$a', 'return "direct";' ));
define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0751 );
}

2. change permission to 777 on upgrade folder
3. change permission to 777 on Akismet folder (777 on plugins folder wasnt enough..)

Great and thanks for sharing the codes.
