Wordpress on apache asks for ftp credentials

WordPress on apache asks for ftp credentials

When I tried to install a plugin on my ubuntu webserver wordpress kept asking for FTP credentials.

You can fix this in two ways:

#1 Add the FTP credentials in wp-config.php

define( 'FTP_USER', 'username' );
define( 'FTP_PASS', 'password' );
define( 'FTP_HOST', 'ftp.example.org:21' );

define( 'FTP_USER', 'username' );

define( 'FTP_PASS', 'password' );

define( 'FTP_HOST', 'ftp.example.org:21' );

#2 Give the right permissions to your wordpress webfolder

pieter$ cd /var/ww
pieter$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data wordpressfolder

pieter$ cd /var/ww

pieter$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data wordpressfolder
