• I have set the folders to 777, even set the root to 777. I’ve checked under what user php runs under(www-data) and set all files and folders to this group. I’ve set all files and folders to my username and when that didnt work, to www-data. Still the package fails with permissions error: but permissions are right. It also claims that I am the php script owner, which confuses me, as setting that from the console made no difference either. Please advise.

  • Actually that result is not correct and will need to updated. Basically its using get_current_user which is not accurate.

    The check currently just calls is_writable so you may have to findout what perms need to be set on your system for this function to return true, you can always force the check to return true, but if PHP can’t write then the plugin won’t work. There are a few tips on the FAQ page for getting around permission errors…

    Change Access Level of FTP user for control panel as
    Access level:
    All folders
    Single folder (recommended).
    After make file permission all folder go to your FTP File manager and select folder and set that folders permission As follow

    Advanced Permissions
    Set permissions for selected folders.
    Inherit (Inherit permissions from parent directory)
    Read (checked)
    Write (checked)
    Reset all children to inherit (All subdirectories will be reset to inherit from current directory)

    Hope this will help you..

    Thanks for the details Shiv Gaikwad!

    Same (but redeveloped and migrated) site. Same software. Same issues. How can I ‘force’ the check to return true, as I’ve now spent the better part of my already limited budget hunting down other developers bugs and shortcomings, and can kiss any profit goodbye. Thanks in advance.
