Error while updating WordPress core (can’t create directory)
-
Hello. (sorry for my english, it’s not my native language)
I’m using 4.7.3 version, trying to update to 4.8.Auto updates don’t work, if i manually press “Update now”, then
Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/ru_RU/wordpress-4.8.zip…
Unpacking the update…
Could not create directory.: wordpress/wp-admin/css/colors
Installation failedit’s the wrong path. Folder wp-admin is on the same level with folder wordpress.
In options.php upload path is correct /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads.Whole directory with wordpress installed have permissions 777, owner www-data.
Need help, where should i search an error?

@mrky007 the ownership is correct (there is only 2 options – root and www-data; i have exactly the same VM, it’s clone, i don’t have this problem there), but the issue is that it tries to create folders in the wrong directory
it should be /var/www/html/wp-admin/.. , but it is
/var/www/html/WORDPRESS/wp-admin/…
(the wordpress folder is empty, all content is on wp-admin folder)Forget to point – it the wp-config.php i added this (hoped it would work)
define( ‘FTP_BASE’, ‘/var/www/html/’ );
define(‘FTP_CONTENT_DIR’, ‘/var/www/html/wp-content/’);
define(‘FTP_PLUGIN_DIR ‘, ‘/var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/’);and
define(‘FS_METHOD’,’direct’);
Plugins don’t update as well, approx same error “can’t create directory, can’t copy file…”
