Automatic update – difference between two servers

I’m having a similar issue.

I am trying to find out whether the error message is omitting important information; like where it’s trying to create “/public_html” ’cause it’s unlikely to be trying to do it in the root of the server…

I also tried setting the FTP_BASE setting as per this post, but that didn’t change the error message.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, both of those solutions recommend setting a folder to 777 which is just not right.

Yes, it may work, and then some hacker will upload a PHP file, execute it, and pwn your site if not your server.

While it’s a “solution” it is not a viable solution.
