• I have problem when I try do update plugin in wordpress.

    The message error is:

    An error occurred while updating Akismet: Download failed. Destination directory for file streaming does not exist or is not writable.

    My develop environment is Win 7 Pro 64bit.

    My server is linux centos 7 (virtual machine).

    My FTP server is vsftpd.

    My wordpress folder is /var/www/html/myWP.

    I try to find this error and try to fixed at descriptions.

    I chowned -R apache:apache for /var/www/ and /var/www/html

    My foldera permission are 755 and files are 644

    I edit the wp-config.php following:

    define( 'FS_METHOD',       'direct');
    
    define( 'FTP_BASE',        '/myWP');
    
    define( 'FTP_CONTENT_DIR', '/myWP/wp-content/');
    
    define( 'FTP_PLUGIN_DIR',  '/myWP/wp-content/plugins/');
    
    define( 'FTP_USER',        'tommy');
    
    define( 'FTP_PASS',        '123456789');
    
    define( 'FTP_HOST',        '192.168.1.100');
    
    define( 'FTP_SSL', false);

    I try to make tmp folder and path to it like:
    define( 'WP_TEMP_DIR', ABSPATH . 'wp-content/tmp/') ;

    I opened port 21 for firewall in centos7.

    My question: This FTP account could login, transfer, edit or delete files by FileZilla client. It was OK BUT I still can’t update the plugins. Please check out for me my false.
