  • I just installed WordPress on a Ubuntu server and its running great! Unfortunately, it appears that my permissions are not setup correctly as I am having issues with plugins working properly.

    I have followed the guide here and it recommends I make the permissions a little less restrictive in order to update the WordPress install. It suggests I run the command:

    sudo chown -R www-data /var/www/html

    If I do that, everything works as it should but now I can’t browse my files through FTP as I am not longer the owner. If I run

    sudo chown -R MYUSERNAME /var/www/html

    then I can browser the files but now my plugins don’t work right (can’t install or delete them).

    My permissions were set based on the “Hardening Guide” by WordPress:

    folders
    find /path/to/your/wordpress/install/ -type d -exec chmod 750 {} ;
    and files
    find /path/to/your/wordpress/install/ -type f -exec chmod 640 {} ;

    How can I set permissions in order for everything to work while keeping a secure install?

Setup Apache With Wordpress

  1. Prerequisites for installing WordPress on Ubuntu 18.04. Before we get started, you'll need to have the following set up: LAMP stack: LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, & PHP. WordPress is both a front end and a backend system, so it requires a web server, a database engine, and PHP for serving dynamic content—that’s what LAMP does.
  2. Lastly, create a user to use with WordPress (if you don’t already have one). Adduser ubuntu-wordpress passwd ubuntu-wordpress usermod -aG sudo ubuntu-wordpress Configure Apache2. Using WordPress on Apache 2 requires a little bit of modification to work correctly. Using the nano text editor, open the apache2 web server configuration file.
