You need to make sure that the folder permissions/ownership are correct. <br> <br><pre> <br>chown -R apache:apache /var/www/wordpress/ <br></pre> <br> <br>Replace “/var/www/wordpress/” with the path to where you actually have wordpress. If you are using nginx instead of apache, use the nginx user as the owner.
