   The screen turns blank after submitting the FTP credentials.
 ([http://imgur.com/a/D1Dw9/embed#0 screenshot])[[BR]][[BR]]WP_DEBUG shows
 nothing and the solution [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-
 upgrade-from-41-to-411-blank-screen?replies=9#post-6588154 mentioned
 above] (FS_METHOD) returns "Could not create directory. Installation
 Failed". ([http://imgur.com/a/D1Dw9/embed#1 screenshot] - Dutch
 message)[[BR]][[BR]]Switching to the default language (en_US) also results
 in "Could not create directory. Installation Failed".[[BR]][[BR]]Sidenote;
 updating manually works fine (so far) but that's not a solution.


 Current workaround (no permanent solution) to successfully run the update:

   Add (and edit) these lines to your wp-config.php:
   {{{
   define( 'FTP_USER', 'ftpusername' );
   define( 'FTP_PASS', 'ftppassword' );
   define( 'FTP_HOST', 'ftp.hostname.net:21' );
   }}}
   Add them just before {{{ /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
 }}}[[BR]][[BR]]Delete those 3 lines out of your wp-config.php once the
 update is finished.
