Updating wordpress new version - wordpress

Getting error while updating wordpress. Need help. I am new in wordpress php. Guide us.
I am trying to update my wordpress installation, but while updating getting error

Close WAMP
Go your the \bin\php\version directory in WAMP
Edit the php.ini, and uncomment the line that reads extension=php_curl.dll
Do the same thing in \bin\Apache\version\bin\
Save and restart WAMP.

Sometimes it happens due to poor internet connection or if connection get interrupted. Try again in another time or connect with a different internet connection.

Wordpress: unable to connect to wp-admin (localhost can't provide a secure connection?)

I've got a MAMP (version 6.3) localhost using Apache running on a Mac Mini locally and i am in final testing before publishing a new plugin that i've created. I popped my plugin into my plugins directory (as i will when i go into production) and suddenly, I am unable to access wp-admin to look at Wordpress (as in 'localhost:8888/wp-admin). Localhost access works just fine (as in 'localhost:8888'), but when attempting to enter wp-admin, the page fails to be served up with the following messages:
"This site can't provide a secure connection
localhost sent an invalid response.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR"
I cannot find ANY information that will help me find a solution. There is nothing in the Apache logs at all. I've got debugging set up and running on my site and there's nothing in there at all. I literally have NO idea how to proceed in finding the problem. I get the same messages in either Chrome or Safari.
I've searched this error and it seems it could be a few things, but the source seems to be a bad certificate or something. If so, i don't know how to correct that condition. IF my understanding is correct, localhost doesn't even require SSL (?), so even the "ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR" is confusing.
Another suggestion that i've found is to disable your plugins folder by renaming it to essentially invalidate ALL plugins. I've tried that as well, no change in the error message that i am receiving.
Can anyone provide any concrete steps for how to resolve this so that i can get into the wp-admin facility on localhost? I admit that i know "not much" about certificates and SSL and the like. I literally don't know where to start.
thanks!
request via http, something like this
http://localhost:8888/wp-admin
open your wp-config.php file and add this online
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', false );
save the wp-config.php file. You can add just above this line
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */
Now try opening your localhost this should work.

EC2 and Wordpress Times Out When Downloading Anything

I put up a WordPress site on an EC2 instance (Linux, micro). I couldn't get the install of WordPress using ssh command line because it would constantly time out. But I did get it working by Ftping the files to my server. Now, everything is working but when I try to install a new theme or plugin through the wordpess admin interface, I only get the timeout error.
I have no idea why I'm getting timeouts when I connect to the www.wordpress.com site (for the install or plugins or themes), but that seems to be the common denominator.
Does anybody know what might be going on here?
Thanks
It turns out I forgot to include https for outbound connections in the security group.

Wordpress: attempting to update plugins results in 503 error after several minutes

I'm using wp 3.4.2 on a hosting service. I can access the ftp server and make changes using a ftp client (ie I have the correct credentials). I inherited the website and I'm trying to update everything, but as a precaution I started with the plugins.
The problem
When I try to update a plugin using the admin dashboard, after clicking "update now", the page keeps loading for several (about/at least 5) minutes. Afterwards I get a Error 503 Service Unavailable error. FTP settings are hardcoded in wp-config.php. This happens with all the plugins.
I solved it already, answer below.
In case anyone happens to stumble upon this problem, in wp-config.php the ftp host should be set to localhost instead of ftp://yourdomain.com.
Another solution i have found on my webhost was that the database user the wordpress installation used lacked the permission to refrence and to delete. Solved by giving the DB user FULL access.

Wordpress installation not get completed in Wamp server

i have installed wamp server on windows 8, and trying to install wordpress on it, but while installing it could not complete it. it's showing me the error like
http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php?step=2
after that the process stops.
Screenshot:
I had refered the question on Wordpress Installation not getting completed but it could not help me.
Can anyone sort this out.
Wordpress is normally a breeze to install.
Have you read this Famous 5-Minute Install and the pre-requisites on the same page.
I had the same problem, I resolved it after finding this: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-hangs-on-step-2-after-creating-basic-dbs-without-admin-user?replies=16
so i just edited the php.ini file as suggested in that post (increased the max_execution_time) and it worked for me.
I had the same issue. The fix for me was that I needed to include the port onto the localhost when assigning the database host.
Like: localhost:8080.

WAMP WordPress Google Calendar Events error

I am developing a WordPress site on my local computer using WAMP.
I get the following error:
"There are no HTTP transports available which can complete the
requested request. Please ensure your feed URL is correct."
I suspect this is a WAMP configuration problem.
Any suggestions?
You have a problem in your php.ini file.
Comment out the line ;extension=php_curl.dll and restart WAMP.
