This issue is a an old issue. WHen I first installed Sugar and now after few months when I want to do some upgdates. Anyhow, I can't upgrade it!! When i go with the wizzard it shows:

Warning: copy(/home/emotion/domains/emotion.lt/public_html/crm/./image.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/emotion/domains/emotion.lt/public_html/crm/modules/Administration/UpgradeWizard_commit.php on line 140
Could not copy file cache/upload/upgrades/temp/dXVA79/SugarSuite-Patch-4.0.0/image.php to /home/emotion/domains/emotion.lt/public_html/crm/./image.php

What should I do?

Let's clarify the situation.
You go to Admin->Upgrade Wizard. Correct?

As I used, the zip file which was uploaded contained manifest file that doesnt indicate 'copy_files' index.

Correct. I go to Admin -> Upgrade Wizard then click on Install (b/c I have uploaded zip file already) and it shows bunch of checkboxes to files that will be upgraded. The frist file with checkbox is alreayd what shows error. This is true to any patch. Liek this one :

Warning: copy(/home/emotion/domains/emotion.lt/public_html/crm/./README.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/emotion/domains/emotion.lt/public_html/crm/modules/Administration/UpgradeWizard_commit.php on line 140

I just found that if I chmod 777 to the specific file, it will be replaced then. but shoudl I do it to ALL files?! I mean, if that is the way it works, I have to chmod 777 ALL files! Is that what I should do?

Later note: However, it seems even if i have made some files 777 it still shows error like:

Warning: copy(/home/emotion/domains/emotion.lt/public_html/crm/./include/database/PearDatabase.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/emotion/domains/emotion.lt/public_html/crm/modules/Administration/UpgradeWizard_commit.php on line 140

Looks like a problem with filesystem permissions. When you install sugar it only requires to have write permissions to certain dirs. But as long as Upgrade Wizard needs to overwrite files that are protected by read only permissions by default - this needs to be changed at least for the time of upgrade.

[janislanka]

the upgrade went not smooth: some files didn't have correct permissions so i set them. The next and last thing: it asks about the time change and never get's anywhere.

What shoudl i do with this message? Shoudl I replace some files?
