I have a word press site in amazon ec2 instance.I am getting issue with installation and updating the plugin.
Issue:-
1)When i try to install plugin from wp-admin backend.It's show the bellow error so that every time i need to upload the plugin manually on server and then need to activate from wp-admin backend.
Unpacking the package…
Could not create directory.
2)When i try to update plugin & wordpress from wp-admin backend.It's show the bellow error
Update Plugin
Downloading update from …
Unpacking the update…
Could not create directory.
My word press file permission structure like bellow:-
wp-content-> "755"
plugins-> "755"
plugins->e.g(captcha) "755"
and under the captcha plugin file i have-> "664" permission.
If have any body idea regarding this issue let me know.
the answer will be appreciated.
I have searched through the google but i didn't find any solution.
That mean issue here is that apache does not have access to the folders. The default permission is given to the ec2-user in the AMI. run this in your terminal and you will be ready to go for update,install plugin and wordpress.
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html
In case when updating the plugin and word press if wp-admin asking for ftp credential just add the bellow snippet code in wp-config file .
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
and run the command.
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html
