After the upgrade, suddenly all the comments have been 'reenabled' even though they were turned off, and also I am unable to install any plugins/themes, anything, using the 'Install' option in WP, anybody else having similar issues?
I keep getting the message that
Could not create directory. /public_html

Also, suddenly comments are open again, despite them being off prior to the upgrade...
Nothing was changed other than upgrading to 3.1.1 , same server same apache php etc etc

Anybody else having similar issues?

    try to give your blog directory 777 permission.
    google this:ftp chmod
    or if you have ssh permission to your server:
    chmod -r 777 /your_dir/

    tell us if its works.

    Thanks, but do you mean to chmod 777 the whole public_html?

    Nope, usually, you should have 777 only the wp-content/ folder.

    Unfortunately, even that leaves your blog wide open to hackers... that's why nobody should use any of those "automatic" gizmos inside wp-admin.

    Learn to use FTP for upgrades, plugins and themes.

    Do you have the AskApache Password Protect plugin installed?

    I recently found this plugin "protecting" me from auto installs and that when it is deactivated everything works fine.
