http://unix.stackexchange.com – So, I have a box with a "deploy" user. This deploy user owns a code repository and wordpress is running on this box... When wordpress attempts to do something like upload a plugin, it is using the user "www-data" to write to "wp-content/plugins".. Apparently it is uploading a zipfile, unarchiving, and then removing the zipfile. I kept running into problems where wordpress was unable to do these things.. Since my entire code repository was set to be the owner and group: "deploy:deploy", obviously www-data is not able to access this. So, my first attempt was to add www-data to the deploy (HowTos)

Hi,

I am trying to use Web Deploy to deploy a site where the Site is rooted on a UNC path instead of a local drive. This is because I want to have a shared configuration, and have all servers point to the same UNC for content. That would allow me to deploy to one server and have all servers updated at the same time. I've created a share with everyone and users read/write.

I'm trying to get Wordpress to run on my local Ubuntu 12.10 installation.

When I try to install themes/plugins, it asks me for FTP credentials.
