WordPress on EC2 Requires FTP Credentials to Install Plugins

amazon-ec2 wordpress

The main issue here is that apache does not have access to the folders. The default permission is given to the ec2-user in the AMI.

run this in your terminal and you should be good to go.

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html

Once this is done you should be able to upload themes, plugins, updates etc.

amazon-ec2 wordpress

Try this code in your wp config file

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

amazon-ec2 wordpress

change owner of wordpress directory

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/wordpress

OR try

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
