    So I secured my wordpress website via directions of digital ocean. I can now install themes and plugins via ssh2…However, now I do not have access to general settings, or delete plugins….I can view everything underneath it writing,reading, etc. When I try to do either of the things mention above I receive a “no data received” message. I do believe all my permissions are set correctly. I’ve been trying to figure out this issue like none stop for the past 5 days. A weird thing I notice is if I type even 1 letter or word in the ssdh config file,I then can view general settings and also delete plugins. BUT, then I’m no longer able to install themes or plugins.

    System: Ubuntu 14.04, Apache 2, Mysql & PHP

  • Thanks atm985!

    I was about to go crazy after deactivating every plugin when the options page still would not display.

    Commenting out FTP_PUBKEY and FTP_PRIKEY did it! Let us know what you find.

    For reference, here’s what I have now in wp-config.php (paths have been changed):

    define('FS_METHOD', 'ssh2');
define('FTP_BASE', '/var/www/websites/www.domain.com/');
define('FTP_CONTENT_DIR', '/var/www/websites/www.domain.com/wp-content/');
define('FTP_PLUGIN_DIR ', '/var/www/websites/www.domain.com/wp-content/plugins/');
/*
define('FTP_PUBKEY','/home/DOMAIN/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub');
define('FTP_PRIKEY','/home/DOMAIN/user/.ssh/id_rsa');
*/
define('FTP_USER',"DOMAIN\\user");
define('FTP_PASS',file_get_contents('/var/www/websites/hidden/ssh_key_user.php')); // the pass phrase used when generating the RSA key (in non-public dir)
define('FTP_HOST','www.domain.com:22');

    My host has no FTP access for security (only SSH/SFTP)

    Update… it seems you can have one key or the other defined but not BOTH at the same time.

    Every time I have both lines I get “no data received” in Chrome or “This page can’t be displayed” in IE

    Also, I’m not on DigitalOcean. I have this issue on a university’s web server. The system shows Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS), PHP/5.4.23

    In that case, please do open your own thread. This appears to be related to server configuration, so despite similarities, your outcomes may be very different.

    I’m on DigitalOcean and followed the same tutorials and ended up with the same problem.

    Here’s a link to a DigitalOcean forum post where I posted my solution, it requires patching libssh2-php: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/segmentation-fault-on-certain-wordpress-pages-on-ubuntu-apache-php?answer=20660
