    Hellò! I’m trying to use in local WP on Debian, and also if almost everything is working, I have a little-big problem. I can’t download themes and plugins ’cause the ftp can’t connect correctly. I checked all configuration files and they are set correctly (as seen on some sites). Only the FTP is not working; note that XAMPP launch all servers without errors.
    My httpd.conf contains User daemon and Group daemon, but if I try to change them or even one, I can’t enter anymore, it gives error.

    I’m lookig for a good guide for installing it in local, but the most found around are bad or incompletes or presumed guides… any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    It is often not worth the trouble of installing an FTP server in localhost systems.

    I found the below snippet a few weeks ago:

    Thanks for the replies. I was able to find a way to
    bypass the need for FTP credentials by adding the code
    below to my wp-config.php file
    define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);

    I would install Mamp on windows. In this video I explain how to do it and people said it works fine:

    I’m experienced in a) linux and b) installing wordpress. But mixing both together without mamp or bitnami is a quite painful procedure!

    so good luck!

    I uninstalled all ’cause it looks as rubbish! It is impossible for me spending so much time reading all posts around the net, and everyone only in end say “procedure for Windows or for Mac”. I tried to follow those and nothing happened, so the only way is to forget and go back to my usual way of preparing sites with java, css, html5 and others. In that way I can make a site on my pc and show it to the interested, without having to do strange things.
    The peculia, is that I installed a copy of Instant wordpress on windows and it works in all, without having troubles. The instalaltion I made 1 month ago on another pc, always Linux, is working fine and for setting XAMPP and the site it toke me about 10 minutes. Why now is so complicated? I’m afraid there is some kind of bug in the 4.0 version of WP.
    Thanks to all for the help.
