In reply to: my-plugins again
If it makes no sense to you, why post a reply?
Our server is on one of the largest corporate web hosts in the world, Peer One. They could resolve it, but professionally managed servers incur some fees when we have to have them go in.
Somebody must have written the script to create the folders, and done so without the correct user auth. I see this has been discussed on this forum in regards to others’ plugins. It appears to be the same issue.
My thought was that I’m not alone in having this issue with the current install, so maybe it would make sense to someone. Or perhaps they already wrote an uninstall script for it to test on a clean server.
Apparently many users had old copies of bbPress required manual creation of those folders. Thus, when installing a new version, the problem would not manifest itself.
TIA

In reply to: oh dear! bbpress already installedplanetmosh,
Thank You! for the tip getting it to install. Worked perfectly.
However, my-plugins and my-templates are still owned by apache and restricted so that I cannot do anything with them.
Using FileZilla, and it has been a decent ftp program, and it is freely available too. But no software can get me past not being the Owner of the file, though, to change the permissions on it. I don’t know how apache got ownership in the first place.
Any additional help would be appreciated!

In reply to: oh dear! bbpress already installedI have the same message – and it won’t do anything.
How did you get past it?
I wanted to simply delete the failed installation and try again.
Now I have a problem where an installation created the folders my-plugins and my-templates and set the owner as apache.
My system uses plesk and no .htaccess files. So how do I recover ownership to delete these folders. Figured I must have done something wrong on the install, but I can’t even delete it now.
Help!
