Permission Error During time of Installing any Plugin
-
Hi, Friends I am facing Permission problem during time of installing Theme, Plugin, Error is “you do not have permission to install plug-in”. So how can i Solve this problem, my Server admin already has given all required permission. Currently i have 755 Permission mode.
Website:
coozy.in
Wordpress Version: 4.0
Theme: Thesis 1.8.6
Permission mode: 755

You can install the plugin manually, by extracting your zip file plugin in wp-content/plugins
Then you can able to see the plugins in your wp-admin panel.
You can also try changing your permissions to 777 and and once you have installed the plugin, you can change back to 755.
Thank Dheeraj for providing me right way i will try it and then i will get back to for more suggestion… Thanks again
This is a reoccurring issue and the support community are hopeless in helping others to fix this.
First thing to do is make sure your wordpress directory and all folders/files are owned by the webserver client example apache or nginx
You do this by using this code…
chown nginx.nginx -R .
Next edit the /etc/sysconfig/selinux file by changing
SELINUX=enforcing
to
SELINUX=permissive
After you set this to permissive, remember to restart your server
This will allow SELinux to print warnings instead of enforcing them.
Your plugin and theme auto-updates should work now.

Thanks, it’s nice that you appreciate the efforts of unpaid volunteers trying to support you.
@robinpinto9896 Please check with your host provicer before trying that advice. Your web server may not be running SELINUX or running as the
nginx
user and group. That advice is very specific and would not work for an Ubuntu or other Linux hosting environment.Also give this a read.

Currently i have 755 Permission mode.
File should be 644 and directories need to be 755. The files do not need the
x
bit set but the directories do.
