W3 Total Cache Error: Files and directories could not be automatically created

mikepra — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 06:38:09 +0000

Hello,

when I open my “Plugins” page, I get the following error on top of it:

FTP credentials don’t allow to delete folder /var/app/current/wp-content/cache/db

and

W3 Total Cache Error: Files and directories could not be automatically created to complete the installation.

I then have two options:
– Either do the changes by myself via SSH
– or let it do W3 via FTP

The first option, doing it by myself, works at first, but after some time, it seems that my changes are beeing reset, because the error shows up again.
The second options isn’t doing anything at all.

I have looked through various posts and stackoverflow question, but I cannot find a solution that works for me.

Does anybody know what might cause my problem?

Thanks for your help!

FTP credentials

From time to time, my sites that uses Jetpack shows a message that asks for FTP credentials to the site. I have no intention to use that (whatever the function is), but how do I stop this annoying message from showing up?

FTP credentials not accepted by Updraft

hannab — Thu, 31 Aug 2017 18:26:36 +0000

Hi, I’m trying to send my Updraft backups to an FTP server. The credentials works fine for other connection software but not for Updraft. I’ve talked with Network Solutions and they say they have nothing that would “block” incoming at their end.

Only message I get from Updraft when testing the connection is “FTP settings test result: Failure: we did not successfully log in with those credentials.”

It’s the exact same credentials I’m using in Dreamweaver that connects just fine. I also have the FTP account page open and can see the exact info.

What do I need to do to connect?

Can’t edit css file, update or delete plugins after duplication

wpodeskstar — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 16:33:55 +0000

Looks like the duplication was successful! or almost. I am getting error message “FileOp Failure: Failed to move ‘product-catalog’ to trash (System Error: Permission denied)” when attempting to delete a plugin. Also getting permission errors when attempting to update or delete a theme. Thought I would just delete the entire plugin folder and replace with backup but won’t let me do that either.

FIle Permissions

emtz — Wed, 31 Aug 2016 23:38:06 +0000

What file permissions are required in order to have W3 Total Cache running without intermittently being asked to execute commands? These are the errors I am encountering:

FTP credentials don’t allow to delete folder /var/www/oxoblog/public_html/wp-content/cache/tmp
W3 Total Cache Error: Files and directories could not be automatically created to complete the installation.
Please execute commands manually View required changes
or use FTP form to allow W3 Total Cache make it automatically.

WordPress cannot access web server

virtualmotorpix — Fri, 08 Jul 2016 11:53:42 +0000

Hi there, can anyone help me please. I have recently changed my hosting package and now when I want to update my plugins I get the following message:
“To perform the requested action, WordPress needs to access your web server. Please enter your FTP credentials to proceed. If you do not remember your credentials, you should contact your web host.”
I spoke to UK2 my service provider and they said that I may have to remove the ftp details from the wp-config.php file. Is that correct? And how do I do that?
Thank you very much in advance,
Elke

How can i install a plugin on localhost? When i want to install a plugin i keep getting the question to enter my ftp information, but i installed wordpress via localhost with xampp because i am changing my wordpress theme and don’t want my website to go offline.

Can you help me figure this out?

Update Problems: Could not create directory

Rollercoasterider — Thu, 17 Dec 2015 19:29:32 +0000

A few days ago I noticed a porn link at the bottom of my blog and inside p-admin. This link was below the site and footer. I added the wordforce plugin and looked through plugins and other files.
The link is now gone. The final thing I did was upload a clean copy of wp-config from several months ago AND deleted bad behaviour and wp-super cache and then went and reinstalled them from the WP list.
So since then I have a few other problems–that may or may not have been present before and so I do;t know if all the recent issues are related. I’ve been having issues with updating and the issues continue. I was able to succesfully updgrade to the latest version of WP, and I think a few others worked briefly, but updates are not working again.

Yesterday I was initially not getting an error message, the system just stayed in maintenance mode… I got out by renaming wp-config and then naming it back. It takes a few minutes before this works–when I rename it and back again right away I get no change, but after a couple of minutes it works–every time. This is also the case if I rename wp-config and upload a clean copy isntead of naming it back.
Today I first get an error message and then it goes into maintenance mode–Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute. This is the pattern for all plugin updates and the one theme that needs updating.

Error Messages

An error occurred while updating Weaver Xtreme Theme Support: Could not create directory. …wp-content/plugins/weaverx-theme-support/
An error occurred while updating Weaver Xtreme: Could not create directory. …wp-content/themes/weaver-xtreme/

I wondered if this could be a permissions issue. The plugins folder is 775 so I changed it to 755 and it made no difference.

BUT I have also made a second wp-config with my FTP credentials added
– FTP_HOST
– FTP_USER
– FTP_PASS
because I’ve been having issues with a pro plugin and support said “It seems like WordPress does not have write permission on the server (when you install plugins, you are probably prompted to enter FTP login information).”
Yes, I always have to put in my user and password when updating and so I thought it would be nice to not do this anymore.
So I saved the original wp-config and made another for the edits. I’ve tried both wp-config files and both yield the same results. The new file seems to work regarding my FTP credentials thought, but could this be causing a problem? Or maybe I need to add more FTP info? Or maybe the edited file has nothing to do with my updating issues.

Oh amd this just seems odd, everytime I rename/and name it back or upload a clean wp-config in response to maintenance mode, I see that I have 1 item needing updating–though there are 5 and it will not show all 5 until I refresh the page.

Need FTP credentials

josflachs — Wed, 25 Nov 2015 09:03:52 +0000

Hi, I got all of a sudden a major problem: after upgrading to Ubuntu 15.10 (from 15.04) I can’t install plugins and themes without giving FTP credentials.

Stats: Ubuntu 15.10
Lamp: latest stack version.
WP: 4.3.1

Folder & File permissions:
owner: Myself – read and write <– my username, lets’ call it Johnny
group: www-data – read and write
others: read-only

I migrated yesterday from 15.04 to 15.10, and got this problem when I reinstalled Xampp. Today I installed a fresh copy of 15.10 with the Lamp stack, same results.

I knew something was very wrong when the WP install told me wp-config.php wasn’t there. I created one. The install went well, the basics work. But working from the dashboard will not allow me to work with themes and plugins.

I have no idea at all what the credentials should be. Hostname must be localhost, I’m working with Lamp. After that, I have no idea. I tried several FTP usernames and FTP passwords; no go.

I discovered I’m not the only one with this when looking for a solution. But so far nothings works for me.

I have to finish a site real soon, so a stop-gap solution with some kind of FTP credentials that work would help me out of a very tight spot. Or how to find that FTP username and password.

Thanks for any help.
