Is this cause I’m not on port 21? That port is still (despite my editing proftp config) chrooted.

Well that didn’t work 🙁
and the following doesn’t work but have I got the paths correct?
I’ve added it to the start of wp-config just after <?php file start
define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘ftpsockets’);
define(‘FTP_BASE’, ‘/var/www/html/’);
define(‘FTP_CONTENT_DIR’, ‘/var/www/html/xxxxxxxxx.org/wp-content/’);
define(‘FTP_PLUGIN_DIR ‘, ‘/var/www/html/xxxxxxxxx.org/wp-content/plugins/’);
define(‘FTP_THEMES_DIR ‘, ‘/var/www/html/xxxxxxxx.org/wp-content/themes/’);
define(‘FTP_USER’, ‘myname’);
define(‘FTP_PASS’, ‘mypassword’);
define(‘FTP_HOST’, ‘xxxxxxxxxxx.org’);
I still need to get this going so any help much much appreciated.

It looks OK to me based on these examples.

Thanks again, there is something to try there, that page shows the options to move wp-content. In the morning I’ll try adding the definitions to point to the content folder in it’s current location and see if that works.

Today, i migrate my WP from ubuntu box into ClearOS. Everything work fine but with some error regarding old URL. It will take ages to fix it manually. I stumble upon a plugins that can “search and replace” text from database. So, I tried to auto install the plugin and received same error as ora8i.
From your discussion, I do make it work but with changes.. as follow.
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.yourdomain.com');
define('WP_HOME', 'http://www.yourdomain.com');
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
define('FTP_BASE', '/www.yourdomain.com/');
define('FTP_CONTENT_DIR', '/www.youdomain.com/wp-content/');
define('FTP_PLUGIN_DIR ', '/www.youdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/');
define('FTP_THEMES_DIR ', '/www.youdomain.com/wp-content/themes/');
define('FTP_USER', 'username');
define('FTP_PASS', 'password');
define('FTP_HOST', 'your-ftp-ip-number:2121');
define('FTP_SSL', false);
Note: change http://www.yourdomain.com with your url
as per your example code, define('FTP_BASE', '/var/www/html/');
that is refer to your webpage not ftp base directory. This is because ClearOS set '/var/www/html/virtual' as base ftp directory for web server contents.
‘www.yourdomain.com’ in my config actually is a directory, because ClearOS created directory base on your virtual host address.
TQ.
