Automatic upgrade-install: haw can I activate it?

  • I recently moved from a DreamHost hosting to a new own virtual server that I’m still configuring.

    When I was with DreamHost all the automatic install/upgrade things were… well “automatic”, I just pushed a button and WordPress starts download the files.
    Now, on my own server, every time I need to provide host, username and password to allow to WordPress to perform some sort of FTP.

    After I provide all that informations the installation runs ok but I would like to config my server to function in the other way.

    I think that I have to install some extension to my PHP, but I don’t know which one (cUrl? SSH?)

    Someone can point me in the right direction?

    Thank YOU!!

  • Just add the necessary FTP constants to your wp-config.php file. See Editing wp-config.php

    # FTP_USER is either user FTP or SSH username. Most likely these are the same, but use the appropriate one for the type of update you wish to do.
    # FTP_PASS is the password for the username entered for FTP_USER. If you are using SSH public key authentication this can be omitted.
    # FTP_HOST is the hostname:port combination for your SSH/FTP server. The standard FTP port is 21 and the standard SSH port is 22
