Re: [PLUG] Back to wordpress

[Doug Stewart <zamoose@gmail.com>]

Two things:
If you're prompted for FTP credentials, it can sometimes relate to permissions. Check that the web server user has write access to the directories in question. Failing that, try adding the following line to your wp-config.php:

define('FS_METHOD','direct'); /** Install plugins without FTP */

Let me know if that helps!

Doug,

Another quick question. I tried to update plug-ins and it asked for ftp
credentials. I have ftp running, however all users are jailed to their home
folders. Do I have to open up my whole VPS to FTP, or symlink the wordpress
install to a user folder? Is there a recommended setup for ftp when using
wordpress?

Thanks,
Eric

I think that got it. The find was not able to find /wp-content/ so I just
went to the wordpress/wp-content folder and ran:
Chmod -R 775 *
