I’m having trouble finding the correct permissions for running a WordPress site on my droplet. I followed this guide to configure the site: How To Configure Secure Updates and Installations in WordPress on Ubuntu
Configuration is as follows:
www-data/var/www/* is owned by wp-user:wp-user755 and files to 644 (WordPress docs)Secure updates and theme/plugin installations work as expected, but I receive the following error when attempting to upload new media through the web interface: Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2014/11. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
Any thoughts on how I can configure owners/permissions to allow this (while maintaining security)?
