Hi all,
I used the tutorial over at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-wordpress-with-nginx-on-ubuntu-12-04 to get a LEMP setup quickly up and running but I’m having troubles updating and using plugins that create files on the server (backup plugins).
The php5-fpm process seems to be running under my user, should it be running using www-data?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, <br> <br>I am not, I’m using BackWPup. Regardless of plugin, I’m sure that the process running under the wrong user can cause problems and I’d like to try and fix it anyway if possible.
I should note, the specific error I am getting when trying to do anything is: <br> <br>WARNING: wp-includes/functions.php:1378 - mkdir(): Permission denied
On my installation php5-fpm has ‘www-data’ as the user. Also my htdocs folder belong to the user ‘www-data’ and the permission is set to 755
