I have a word press site in amazon ec2 instance.I am getting issue with installation and updating the plugin.
Issue:-
1)When i try to install plugin from wp-admin backend.It's show the bellow error so that every time i need to upload the plugin manually on server and then need to activate from wp-admin backend.
Unpacking the package…
Could not create directory.
2)When i try to update plugin & wordpress from wp-admin backend.It's show the bellow error
Update Plugin
Downloading update from …
Unpacking the update…
Could not create directory.
My word press file permission structure like bellow:-
wp-content-> "755"
plugins-> "755"
plugins->e.g(captcha) "755"
and under the captcha plugin file i have-> "664" permission.
If have any body idea regarding this issue let me know.
the answer will be appreciated.
I have searched through the google but i didn't find any solution.
That mean issue here is that apache does not have access to the folders. The default permission is given to the ec2-user in the AMI.
run this in your terminal and you will be ready to go for update,install plugin and wordpress.
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html
In case when updating the plugin and word press if wp-admin asking for ftp credential just add the bellow snippet code in wp-config file .
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
and run the command.
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html

After migrating my Apache server from Ubuntu 14.04 to CentOS 7, I started experiencing these permission errors.
On the Magento Connect Manager login page, I'm hit with an error message and unable to login:
Unable to write to the configuration file.
The error remained even after I set the permission for every file and folder to 0777.
I then deleted the .cfg files in the "downloader" folder. Now the error message has become:
Settings has not been loaded. Used default settings Config file does not exists please save Settings Unable to write to the configuration file.
After login/logout, restarting the Apache server and even the entire host, the error remained. The error logs did not record anything at all.
On Debian 8.6 with Magento-1.9.3.6 the chown following command:
chown www-data:www-data var/brute-force.ini
enable right to write and unlock the access to Magento Connect Manager
Solved!
SELinux was preventing Apache from writing to the directory.
I used the following command to enable it:
chcon -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/html -R
I'm starting to develop a site in ubuntu 14.04. I'm using apache2, so I placed my files under /var/www/html/ folder. Everything was working fine, but I had to restart my current work so I copied the entire project folder from another path, like this
$ sudo cp ~/path/to/folder /var/www/html/
And now I can't see my images, a simple imgtag. I just see this.
When I look for the file, I can see that I'm having an error 403 forbidden. I saw some suggestion to add the option Require all granted but that option is already set in my apache. I suspect that is because the new folder is a copy from a folder without root permissions, so I tried chmod but that also didn't work so I'm completly lost now.
So, how can I see my images from localhost? and most important is why this happen suddenly?
Today when i logged into my magento store admin, it shown a new critical message like
Critical Reminder: Download and install Magento security patches. Download now.
Then i download SUPEE-5344 and SUPEE-1533 from https://www.magentocommerce.com/products/downloads/magento.
Please tell me how can i apply these patch files to my magento store.
Thank You!
Applying SUPEE-5344 and SUPEE-1533 Magento patches via FTP/sFTP or FileManager / File Upload without SSH
Refer Link: http://magentary.com/kb/apply-supee-5344-and-supee-1533-without-ssh/
You can test whether Magento is safe from vulnerable for security point of view see link: https://shoplift.byte.nl/ and enter your URL.
You should have a look at the official documentation on applying patches
But in short.
Download the patch from the Magento site,
Transfer the patch to you Magento installation root directory,
Call sh patch-file-name.sh and you should see the message Patch was applied/reverted successfully.,
You may need to revert permissions after the process and also make sure you download the right patch for the version of Magento you have in place.
for SSL use putty client software and use it to access SSL.
Go to your website hosted directory and type the
above command and yout patch get applied/reverted successfully.
Steps To Run Security Patche File in magento.
1 First download security error patche file from magento community .
2 Download files move it into root folder in magento.
3 Create a php file in root directory of magento for run patche files.
4 Rename Security patches files according to you.
Final Step Open Php file and add these function in php
<?php
print("<PRE>");
passthru("bash patch-1.sh");
print("</PRE>");
//patch-1.sh define the name of download security patch file name .
?>
First download .sh patch files and move to your document root (magento root folder). Then connect to ssh and go to your document root folder.
run this command.
sh patch-file-name.sh
A message such as the following displays to confirm the patch installed successfully:
Patch was applied/reverted successfully.
Delete cache and session.
rm -rf var/cache var/session
Now you may need to reassign ownership again. Based on your group name command. Generally there are two groups www-data or apache. If you have www-data then run this command
chown -R www-data .
For apache use this.
chown -R apache
I am receiving a following error
Settings has not been loaded. Used default settings
Wrong config file size connect.cfg please save Settings again
in magento connect. I tried to delete files and did every possible thing, but the issue is not getting resolved. Please help me with possible solution guys. Also the extensions are not getting installed because of this and we are not able to solve problems.
We are using magento 1.9
Make sure that you click settings and click save as this flag will not clear until you do so. I was pulling my hair out with this as I chmod'd the files and chown'd the directory's but it was still showing the error. So once the file and folder permissions are set correctly go to the Magento Connect manager click the settings tab and click save settings then go back to extensions tab and the error will now be gone.

When you are in magento connect manager and you get this error
*
Settings has not been loaded. Used default settings
*
Click on magento conect manager Settings tab (top left) and select Use Custom Permissions --> YES and default should be 777 for folders and 666 for files. Deployment Type --> Local Filesystem and then hit SAVE SETTINGS.
The problem should be solved. At least that's how I solved mine when I got this error.
Be sure the /dowloader folder permissions are set to 777 and you can also chown the folder with the apache user. That worked for me. I have done:
chmod 777 -R /downloader/
chown www-data:www-data -R /downloader/
replace www-data with your apache user.
I've done this and worked perfectly for me.
It's a well known issue.
Check if the file named "connect.cfg" hasn't been modified (for
exemple: when I get this issue, the file has nothing into it, every
parameters have been removed and the size is 0kb)
Take a backup of this file and overwrite the existing
The issue should be solved know
For info about the access rights, I have :
2775 for the folder "downloader"
0664 for the file "connect.cfg
chown apache /var/www/ -hR will solve this problem.
When logged in as Administrator and trying to install a Joomla extension it fails giving this error message
JFolder::create:
Unable to create destination
At another Joomla site it works, and one difference is where it works Joomla is setup with default English and where it fails setup is in Swedish. Can you recommend how to troubleshoot and proceed? I tried with 2 different extensions and both work on the English joomla and not the Swedish.
Probably you have to check the rwx (Read-Write-Execute) permissions (should be 644 or 755) for allowing the extension's folder to be created.
You have to change the owner of the folders/files to the user of the Apache server using the "chown" command.
If the Apache user is httpd, run this command in your Joomla folder
chown -R httpd *
I already get this problem and this solution worked for me.
Also check the path to the /tmp folder in your configuration.php file.
