How do you make your code blocks in ML? Are you manually indenting all of those lines?

When I know I want to paste code, I paste it in notepad++ first then select all hit tab then copy paste here.

When you chowned, did you do it recursively?

chown -R apache:apache /webdir

Yes, and it was all working fine right after install because I added plugins and a theme.

Ah ha, thanks. I thought that you must have some tool for that.

Run it again in case something changed.

I did prior to posting about it. I did it again just now and also rebooted.

I simply do not know where else to check for a permissions issue.

@scottalanmiller @ajstringham or anyone else using wordpress

I just dumped the mysql databse to a SQL file, dropped the database, and renamed the daerma folder

I then downloaded the latest WP zip and extracted it. renamed the folder daerma, copied the wp-config file, set my credentials, and then chown'd the daerma directory..

launched daerma.com did the inital config with no problem and tried to update to WP 4. FTP login prompt immediately.

All 5 WP sites on this server display this behavior so I am thinking it HAS to be something else related to the OS. I did run yum updates a week or so ago. and again 2 days ago while troubleshooting this.

CentOS7 x64

Here is the repo list. epel was just added a couple days ago when I tried to install pertino.

Prior to that, this was a clean CentOS7 minimal install no extra repos.

SELINUX was back to enforced. because I neglected to set /etc/selinux/config to permissive.

I had originally set it to permissive with setenforce permissive but that of course is lost on reboot.

Thanks @scottalanmiller fo mentioning selinux

scottalanmiller

SELinux is often a tricky thing when permissions seem to be wide open but are still failing.

Oh that sucks. What did it do on import?

Found the import problem was php-xml was missing. The importer never gave a notice. Only found it after trying a few other importer plugins. One of them popped a warning the XMLReader was missing.

scottalanmiller

Awesome, so it is all working now?

JaredBusch

Well http://daerma.com is working perfectly, but http://JaredBusch.com is not updating the permalinks correctly. I will just nuke that one and redo it later and see if the problem goes away. I only have 3 posts on it.
