    I just attempted to update to the new 3.9 version. I got a bunch of warnings that the copy function of some file has failed. The installation terminated and now I'm stuck and can not use anything. I'm afraid that I will have to reinstall everything. See the code below:
    Update WordPress
    Unpacking the update…
    Verifying the unpacked files…
    Preparing to install the latest version…
    Enabling Maintenance mode…
    Copying the required files…

    Disabling Maintenance mode…
    Could not copy file.: wp-includes/certificates/ca-bundle.crt
    Installation Failed
    This is what is now showing when you try to access the site:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_register_plugin_realpath() in /home/local1st/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 213
    The site address is http://www.localfirstalliance.com
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This kind of thing usually happens because of a permission problem on a directory or a specific file.
    You can "usually" (9 times out of 10) resolve the failed installation by doing a manual update.
    So you have to use FTP to get to the back end. If you haven't alrady, take steps to do a backup including MySQL database and at the very least backup the wp-config.php file which is in the root directory of the WordPress install.
    You can find instructions for the manual update on this page.
    If you need any further help with this procedure, post your questions here.

    Yes, I have checked your issue. Due to incomplete update, some files are not updated currently. That's why it is giving error.
    Generally, it is occurred due to following reason.
    • File permission issues
    • Network/internet speed
    Just upload below files of wp 3.9
    wp-includes
    wp-admin
    and all php file which are on the root of the site except wp-config.php and .htaccess
