Website ok, Backend toast
-
So I just logged in to update to the latest 5.9 and I can log in but the back end is basically in raw HTML. It fails on update to 5.9 but I was able to update a plug in and theme successfully.
I am not sure what caused the back end to corrupt as it was not due to the update unless it automatically updates and it failed thus causing the issues I am seeing.
When I try to run the update I get the following text:
Update WordPress Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/wordpress-5.9-new-bundled.zip… The authenticity of wordpress-5.9-new-bundled.zip could not be verified as no signature was found. Unpacking the update… Verifying the unpacked files… Preparing to install the latest version… Enabling Maintenance mode… Copying the required files… Disabling Maintenance mode… Could not copy file.: wp-admin/images/about-texture.png Installation failed. Thank you for creating with WordPress.I have not had any issues doing updates in the past and nothing has changed permission wise. As we can see only root has write permission which I don’t even use. I do everything by log in user via sudo.
DIR permissions:
drwxr-xr-x 9 xxxxxx www-data wp-admin
drwxr-xr-x 2 xxxxxx www-data images

I tried to temporarily change permissions on the wp-admin folder and that 404’d the entire site. I was able to 766 the images folder and try to run the update again.
Ok, so if I have the images/ folder as 755 (rwx-rx-rx) it fails to install the about-texture.png, now if I change that to 766, it will say it fails to install stars.png.
Also I changed my theme to the default 2021 theme and it changed the website without issue and that works fine. Back end still snafu’d and update still fails exactly the same.
Here is a link to what the back end currently looks like:
