# Cannot Create Directory

 * I have tried adjusting permissions on the directory, I have tried all sort of
   different things. But I still cannot upload themes or install plugins. If I log
   into the server (Ubuntu 14.04) and put the folders in the directory (such as 
   a theme folder in the /wordpress/wp-content/themes directory) it doesn’t even
   show in the wp admin console.
 * Any ideas?
