 * Hi,
 * I tried updating the pluging from 3.6.33 to 3.6.34. It now comes with the error:
 * > Destination folder already exists. /public_html/wp-content/plugins/headspace2/
   > Plugin install failed.
 * Should I just manually delete the folder and reinstall?

 * I guess so. The error is related to your WP installation, and is likely due to
   file permissions. Deleting the folder and re-installing should fix the problem

 * Strange. I deleted it now I get the error:
    Unpacking the package… Could not 
   create directory. /public_html
 * > should I change the public_html folder to 777?
   > p.s. I’m using wordpress 3.1 MultiSite

 * Oh. Got it working. Deleting the upgrade folder and recreating fixed it.
