Plugin installation requires FTP credentials, no matter if chmod 777 or not (1 post)

    Hi there
    Whenever i want to install a plugin via the WP backend, it asks me for a FTP-Account.
    But i ensured with chmod777 that apache and user-www has full writing permissions on the WP folder.
    Uploading a Media File or editing a theme is no problem. But installation of plugins fail.
    Why does the plugin installation script require ftp account when it easily can download the files directly?
