 * Hello everyone!
 * I used to host a blog at Dreamhost and everytime I wanted to install a new plugin
   or update WordPress I could do it directly from the Admin panel. No user/pass
   asked, ever!
 * Now I’ve setup my vps and installed 3.0. When I tried to install a plugin I was
   prompted for my FTP host/user/pass.
 * What do I need to setup now that at Dreanhost WP was able to figure out how to
   do it on its own?
 * What am I missing?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Was this ever solved?
