I read this first: #11473 – ERROR: Could not upload README.txt as I got the same error.

When I tried to update Joomla from 3.2.3 to3.2.4 with Joomla Update and Installation method "Write files directly" I get ERROR:
Could not open /home/myuser/public_html/joomla root directory/LICENSE.txt for writing. When I do sudo chgrp -R www-data /home/myuser/public_html/joomla root directory/LICENSE.txt and change permissions to 666 on LICENSE.txt it obviously works for that file. But to make the whole update work I guess I need to run sudo chgrp -R www-data /home/myuser/public_html/joomla root directory/

Is that a security risk to do sudo chgrp -R www-data /home/myuser/public_html/joomla root directory/ ?

I don't have any FTP server (and I don't want to have) so I can only use the direct method.

I use nginx php-fpm Ubuntu 12.04 LEMP

Hello,

we can not provide support for Joomla! Update. It's a part of Joomla! and we explicitly state in our support policy we don't provide support for Joomla! itself.
Moreover, you are your own hosting: we can't give you any advice since that would require me giving you assistance in server configuration, and once again this is something we can't do.

I', sorry, but this is an hosting issue with Joomla, it's unrelated with our software.
