wordpress restored from backup asking for ftp
- by Siddharth
I backed up my /var/www/wordpress folder to my external harddisk and restored it back. Now when I add a new plugin I am asked for ftp access to my localhost. I wonder why ?
As far as I could go /var/www/wordpress and its subfolders/files are own'ed by root. I have logged in to my wordpress as admin root.
I dont know why I need to setup ftpd, but I tried that too. "http://askubuntu.com/questions/14371/how-to-setup-ftp-to-use-in-locally-hosted-wordpress"
I am missing something really silly here.
