Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Hello,
When I create a hosting account and run a fresh installed wordpress, it gives picture upload errors, plugin update errors.
If I do a "chown www-data:www-data" the entire directory, the error is fixed.
I want everything to be automated. In cpanel, I don't have to do chown and things like that...
has anyone experienced this issue before or is it only me?

I use wordpress on almost every site I use with vesta and I dont have this problem.

How do you install the wordpress ?
If you download as root and extract the file then you have to use chown command. If you use ftp to upload the extracted wordpress then you dont need to use chown
