    I have the following error.log from OpenLightpeed WebServer running a WordPress Site (latest Versions), where I want to install e.g. better-search-replace plugin (same with other plugins):

    Certainly the wp-content diretcory and all others are completely accessible – there is no reason for missing permissions – the error occurs also when I set everything to 777.

    Line 6893 in functions is a file access….

    I am totally lost ………

    Can somebody help?

    Thanks!

    1. Set the directory permissions to 755 and file permissions to 644 for the wp-content/upgrade folder. -> My Permissions are 775 and 664
    2. Ensure the web server user owns the WordPress files. -> This is not the case: the owner of the files is www-data:www-data. The Webserver is running with nobody:nogroup. nobody as group rights for www-data group. www-data has group rights for nogroup. I did expect that this must work. Actually it did not! I changed webserver to www-data:www-data and now it works -> I find this strange, becase why does the webserver needs to be an owner -> this seems to me no correct linux logic
    3. Verify if any security settings in OpenLiteSpeed are restricting file access. -> done
    4. If the issue persists, manually upload the plugin via FTP to the wp-content/plugins directory and activate it from the WordPress dashboard.
