I am trying to install WordPress on my parent domain in public_html directory. it gives me this every time I try to install.
I tried to delete htaccess as well, changed permissions but nothing works.
I faced same issue and my issue was resolved by changing public_html folder permission to write.
I also faced a similar issue but just edited my file permission for the .htaccess file and try reinstalling WordPress.

I accidentally deleted htaccess file.
I downloaded it before I did so and then afterwards I re-uploaded it to my public_html folder, but I can't get to the WP login anymore. It just gives me a 404 error.
Why doesn't it start working when I just re-upload?
Nevermind, I figured it out. It was simply because when I downloaded the file, the period in front of ".htaccess" was removed. When uploaded, it was still removed. However, I simply edited the file name in cpanel from "htaccess" to ".htaccess" and it started working again.
After every WordPress release appears on my admin panel, my website .htaccess file becomes chmod 444 or 777 and overwrite my htaccess settings. I try to change the chmod and edit it from ftp and from the console. But It keeps returning to chmod 444 or 777. The work-around solution is that i have to update wordpress from the administration panel, then I can change the .htaccess chmod to 644 and edit it without any problem.
Please help me resolve this issue.
Thank you,
The proper way to upgrade WP is via the admin panel....
If you download the installation and do it all manually, then you need to check the umask for your user... which applies the permissions for new files.. actually there could be other reasons why the permissions change to 444, but the real solution is to upgrade via admin panel
Solved the issue by renaming wp-admin to wp-admin_old and wp-includes to wp-includes_old . Then I uploaded latest and fresh folders from the official website: https://wordpress.org/. DO NOT FORGET TO DELETE 'wp-admin_old' & 'wp-includes_old'! Because they have a hidden backdoor that keeps changing your wordpress settings. That's why renaming them then deleting them is the only way to get rid of malware.
This probably happened due to an infection, which may have changed more than the core Wordpress files. Simply updating the wp-includes directory may not permanently solve the problem: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/191570/20963
i am using WordPress 3.6.1 and I have strange problem today. First I have to tell that my current website was copied from old website, both the WP files and database.
So in the current website, I try to install new plugin, but it returns error:
Downloading install package from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/xml-sitemap-xml-sitemapcouk.zip…
Download failed. Could not open handle for fopen() to /home/k5841724/public_html/wp-content/uploads/xml-sitemap-xml-sitemapcouk.tmp
Then all my plugins are dissapered (Akismet, Hello Dolly, etc), and I can't install any plugin. Nothing wrong with my permission, /wp-content, /wp-includes, /wpcontent/uploads all are set to 755. Any idea what is the solution for this issue? Thanks.
addition note:
all my plugins folder (Akismet, etc) still there inside wp-content/plugins folder, but not appear in WP Dashboard.
You should check permissions for folder wp-content/uploads
I think wordpress can't write to this folder. Set for this folder permission 777 and try again.
I have experienced the same error with plugin installation.
In my case it was very informative to change WP_DEBUG to true in my wp-config.php file.
After doing so I have noticed the error message, telling me that open function is disabled due to security reasons.
Try changing your php.ini settings so that disable_functions doesn't contain fopen
After mysteriously losing site administrator access to my wordpress installation, I tried uploading the theme into the wp-content/themes folder directly.
However, I get the following error when attempting to access the main page now
{"success":"-1","alert":"Cannot write style-custom.css file, you may try setting the style-custom.css file permission to 755 or 777 to solved this. ( If file does not exists, you have to create it yourself )"}
How can I solve this?
Thanks
I have the same problem with the bluediamond themes.
To fix this issue I have changed by FTP the permissions on the file style-custom.css (The correct permissions is 777) locate in the root of the theme "wp-content/themes/bluediamond".
I have insatlled wordpress 3.3.1 recently. I have not confirgured wp-config.php file before installation, after installation, i have copied the wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php & edit the details accordingly, but this wp-config file is not reflecting actually.
What may be the reason, how to make this enable so that wp-config file will be included while loading wordpress files,
Moreover from where the db & other settings are loaded in Wordpress.
Thanks !
Make sure that wp-config.php is in the right location (webroot), and that the file has the appropriate permissions. If everything checks out ok, check the apache logs.
Please make sure that you follow the following steps
I can only assume you are on a windows machine, since I've had the same problem, but not in Linux.
