WordPress prompts for FTP credentials to perform updates
-
For some reason WordPress believes it does not have write permissions when in fact it does.
My configuration: Lighttpd running as www-data with PHP as fcgi.
Directory permissions are set to user:www-data and 770 permissions. During first time installation WordPress successfully creates wp-config.php, so there are no issues with permissions.
I have to add define(‘FS_METHOD’,’direct’); to wp-config.php to workaround this bug. But I cannot do this for all people I am providing hosting to. I keep getting asked why WP cannot update itself even when permissions are set to 777.
So, can you guys please fix the way WP detects if it has write access?
