Hi All,
I have successfully installed Wordpress on my LAMP server, however, I can’t seem to update plugins. I am getting the following error:
Could not create directory
Additionally, I have already placed the following instruction in the wp-config file:
define('FS_METHOD','direct');
Any ideas?

after changing ownership restart the server, i have done the same mistake and it costed me 20 minutes
sudo service apache2 restart
Most probably permisison issues. Try : sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/*
Am using Centos7 and the folder owner is set to apache:apache I’ve done the below too, but i still get the error.
and also added this to wp-config.php
but still i am getting an error, “Could not create directory”. I can’t update wordpress and can’t update plugins. what am i missing here?
I have exactly same problem. define(‘FS_METHOD’,‘direct’); has been added to wp-config file. I am still unable to install, remove or update plugins and themes. CentOS & LAMP setup step by step from DigitalOcean tutorial. Any help will be much appreciated.
