Redmine plugins folder location - directory

Soo my problem is that my brand new redmine install (2.4) has a plugins folder path like this:
/usr/share/redmine/lib/plugins
I would expect the plugins folder to be under "something"/redmine/plugins
Also, it's not empty which seems kinda weird for a clean fresh install.
I'm thinking that this directory is not the directory for the plugins install.
Anybody could give me a heads up whether I'm in at the right place or need to create the directory myself or what. :)
Thanks in advance!

I confirm you should create a new "plugins" directory in the redmine folder.
Then you just have to copy your plugins into this directory.
More help here: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Plugins

locate redmine or find / -type d -name redmine first find where redmine folder is then create a folder called plugin and download the zip file or git clone.
restart the server sudo service nginx restart or touch /srv/redmine/tmp/restart.txt

AWS Lightsail Wordpress Version control

I'm working on a wordpress site hosted on an AWS Lightsail instance (Bitnami) and i'd like to have version control to work on our site themes with a coworker.
I like the idea of just having to git pull to make changes to the site.
In the wordpress folder (that contains wp-admin, licences, wp-config.php, etc...), there is the wp-content folder but it's a symbolic link that points outside the wordpress folder to root/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content. I can't use git in the wordpress folder but I can set it up in the root/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content but it feels like bad practice since it asks me for admin privileges for every command line.
Is there a reason the wp-content folder is a symbolic link that points to outside the wordpress folder or is it just a mistake from the person who set things up?
Is it okay to use git to bypass an ftp client in this case?
So I just had this same issue today, and I resolved this by moving the directories for .../wp-content to the location of the symlinks and deleting the symlinks.
This was my process (though you could delete the symlinks first):
Move wp-content mv /bitnami/wordpress/wp-content /location/of/wordpress/temporary-directory-name
Delete symlinks rm -f /location/of/wordpress/
Rename temporary-directory-name using move mv /location/of/wordpress/temporary-directory-name /location/of/wordpress/wp-content
You can then repeat the same steps for the wp-config.php file. Once this was done I was able to verify Wordpress was still working on my LightSail instance. Hope this helps

(Using shared hosting for Wordpress in Hostgator) Installation failed: Could not create directory

Can somebody help me, how should i create a a directory for plugins, there's already a folder created in Hostgator's Cpanel "Public_html>Wp_content>plugins".
But still if i install any plugin, this error pop ups "Installation failed: Could not create directory." please help, Thank You in advance
You just need to give the permission to the folder.
When you installing any plugin it will uploaded to /wp-content/plugins directory.
Now there is three option to achieve this.
1) connect ssh and go to desire path and run chmod command
Chmod 777 -Rf /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins
2) Open file manager from cpanel and go desire path and select folder and give the permission
3) creat a script which give me the folder permission. You can get that script on google
Here is one of the link :

How to upload WordPress child theme to XAMPP + Bitnami + Mac OS?

Everything was going so well: installed XAMPP on Mac (OS 10.10.2). Installed Bitnami WordPress module. Imported existing WordPress site (this site is already live). Then imported/installed the theme I want to modify. All good up to that point.
Now I want to create a child theme. Following the instructions from Themify, which are great. BUT: I can't open the htdocs directory within the wordpress dir that was installed by the Bitnami module. No permissions.
There's a help page, but it's not helping me. Reason 1: I open FileZilla, I FTP to localhost, but the wordpress dir is nowhere to be found there. Reason 2: I try to follow their sudo chown instructions but the path is not valid for me. I tried:
$ sudo chown daemon:daemon Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apps/wordpress/htdocs
... but no luck. "No such file or directory." I can find this folder in the Finder (see screencap), but I can't seem to access it from the command line. (Is that because XAMPP is in the Applications directory?)
In case it's not obvious, I am doing all this to muck around with my child theme offline. But I can't get my child theme folder into the wp-content/themes folder, because I can't FTP or access the folder directly through the Finder.
I was able to change permissions through the Mac "Get Info" panel. Doh!!
"Get Info" panel, unlocked
See screencap.
Try and put a Leading slash at the front of the directory listing so run this instead:
sudo chown daemon:daemon /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apps/wordpress/htdocs
Just go to /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/mysite/wp-content/themes/your-child theme and set permission of your child theme folder to writable to everyone.

How to install site-specific modules in a Drupal 7 multi-site?

I have a "multi-site" installation of Drupal 7, which means that I have these folders in my "sites" folder:
all
domain.one
domain.two
domain.x
And in each of these folders, I also have "modules" and "themes" folders.
If I click the "install new module" link on the modules page ("admin/modules") from any domain X, Drupal tries to download modules in the "all/modules" folder instead of the "X/modules" folder.
Maybe I am not using the proper phrase to search in Google, but I do not see similar problems, so it may just be my problem.
How to install site-specific modules in a Drupal 7 multi-site?
You can try the example detailed out in this post: http://www.pixelclever.com/how-set-up-drush-for-multisite-installation which basically requires you to create a drushrc.php file for each multisite, which includes the path to the respective modules folder.
Here are the lines from that post that explain
To start, go to your drush folder where you will find a file entitled example.drushrc.php. Copy that file into the individual site folder in your Drupal multisite installation (sites/yourmultisite), and rename the file to drushrc.php.
Now open that file and add the following line:
$command_specific['dl']['destination'] = 'sites/yourmultisite/modules';
or
$command_specific['dl']['destination'] = 'sites/yourmultisite/modules/contributions';
This is also a step by step walkthrough of the updating process using drush on multisites.
http://rinen.net/2013/02/updating-a-drupal-multisite-using-drush/
I found good article for multisite install here,
http://mydons.com/drupal-7-multisite-install-steps-in-linux/
http://mydons.com/drupal-7-multisite-install-steps-in-windows/
This worked for me:
Changed working directory on terminal to specific site directory
i.e. "cd [drupal_site_directory]/sites/[site_one]/ "
use usual drush command to install modules i.e. "drush dl [module_name]"
Hope this might help you guys also.

Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads in Wordpress

I created php files for my plugin and added them to myplugin folder. Then I zipped myplugin folder as myplugin.zip. In Admin Panel of Wordpress I wanted to install my plugin to wordpress. I choosed this zip file and clicked to Install "Now button". Then Wordpress gave an error:
Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2013/05. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
What is the problem and how can I solve it? My OS is Linux and I use XAMPP server in my machine.
In your terminal, navigate to the wp-content folder and then run:
chmod -R 0744 plugins
That will set the folder and its subfolders to read/write/execute for you and read for everyone else.
Edit As suggested in the comments, check this out: codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions
Alternatively you can just unzip them yourself and save them into this folder:
/wp-content/plugins/name-of-theplugin
Then you can just activate the plugin from the admin page.
I am not entirely familiar with XAMPP but it should be run as a user. Most likely your own windows account. You may try this:
Select the folder wp-content and right click -> properties. then go to Security Tab. There check to see if the User (i.e. you) has write+ modify permission.
Check what is XAMPP server running as, the folder above must have the permissions for the same user.
Double check the "general" tab on the wp-content folder and check the "Attributes" section. Make sure "Read Only is unchecked. If you are changing it, windows will prompt for whether to apply to subfolder. Say "yes".
. Or run XAMPP at Administrator and skip the above step .(assuming it is not production / public internet facing server).
I had this problem yesterday, I solved it by uninstalling the Wordpress module and installing it again as root from the terminal.
I thought if I run the installation wizard as I was logged as root was enough, but it wasn't.
These are the steps for MacOS:
Uninstall wordpress module. Be sure the folder is empty.
Mount the wordpress disk image
cd /volumes/nameOfWordpressModule image
sudo bitnami wordpress module.app/Contents/MacOS/installerbuilder.sh
I recommend you to list the items so you can write exactly the name of the image and app.
Hope it helps!
navigate to your main project folder and run the following:
chmod -R 0777 wp-content
in case of MAC run
sudo chmod -R 777 /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/
