Hi. I am new to php. I have setup an xampp localhost server to learn web development. I have a few Wordpress sites in progress. When I updated my Windows to 8.1 Iwas unable to update my themes or plugins. The message is:
Permission denied in C:\xampp\htdocs\mywebdev\wp-admin\includes\file.php on line 479. Can anyone please advise me what this file does and how to fix. Thanks.

I don't know much about XAMPP or Windows file permissions, but it sounds like Apache doesn't have write access to your wp-content directory.

You need to work backwards and find exactly which file is being referenced in line 479 of file.php and then find out first of all whether that file is present and has appropriate permissions
