Wordpress asks for FTP credentials, even though owner of the whole /var/www is www-data
- by dmt0
I'm trying to get Wordpress to run on my local Ubuntu 12.10 installation.
When I try to install themes/plugins, it asks me for FTP credentials.
I've been trying to get this to work for 2 days now. Everywhere on the web it says you should change the owner:group of your Wordpress directory to whateverowner:group runs your apache server - in my case www-data:www-data. I've done this, and even tryed setting permissions to the whole /var/www directory to 777, restarting apache and the whole system. But wordpress is still asking me for the FTP credentials. What else could this be?
