   Just installed WordPress on a VPS and when trying to install new plugins I am being asked for FTP info and found this line in Codex which I think explains what is wrong with my setup, but I don't know how to fix it:

   Note that your files all need to be owned by the user under which your Apache server executes, or you will receive a dialog box asking for "connection information," and you will find that no matter what you enter, it won't work.

   Here is what I copied from my DirectAdmin control panel if any of this info is useful:

   Apache 2.2.14 Running
   DirectAdmin 1.36.2 Running
   Exim 4.67 Running
   MySQL 5.0.67 Running
   Named 9.3.4 Running
   ProFTPd 1.3.1 Running
   sshd Running
   dovecot 1.2.8 Running
   Php 5.2.11 Installed

   If anyone knows how to fix this I greatly appreciate the help.

   Found this article here & pasted the lines of code recommended at the bottom in the wp-config file:

   It worked...so hopefully my three hours of searching to find that article will be useful for someone :)
