    Hi,

    Assign 755 recursive permissions to wp-content directory of your blog with the help of your web hosting service provider. You can also manualy instaled plugin file in wp-content/plugins directory and activate it from wordpress admin area.

    Thanks,

    hi,

    i assigned 755 to /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content (chmod -R 755 wp-content) and i am still getting the same error. but adding the plugins to wordpress/wp-content/plugins by hand does work.

    my site is self hosted so i am the root.

    i believe that the problem is when wp admin logs in for ftp sessions with the server it is in the server admin home directory not the wordpress admin directory as it expects.

    i should start a new thread for this yes?

    thank you.
