WordPress issue : Could not create upgrade directory

Today I got strange issue while update wordpress site. This gave me error like this “Could not create upgrade directory”.

Firstly I thought this was the issue of directory permission so I did set upgrade directory 777 mode but I was unsuccessful. Then tried to delete upgrade folder and created new one, for me that was still issue. Then I read the some articles on WordPress codex and this trick(delete and create upgrade directory) works for many people. But in the mine case this was not work. I started think about this issue and found the issue with ask apache module. This module was not giving permission to write anything on the directory.

Finally I deactivate ask apache module and upgrade my WordPress version as well as plugin and again I activated this plugin for security purposes. This technique worked for me very well.

Hope this method will work for other people.
