I installed and uninstalled wordpress plugins but they're still showing. Waht might be the problem?
Try deleting the plugin folder directly on the server and also clear your cache.
Might be you have only rights to read/write on plugins directory. Try by making chmod 777 for plugins directory so have full rights on that.

Even i changed file permissions to 777 of wp-content nothing happened, i am not able to install wordpress plugins...
You have to update the plugins on your local instance and then re-deploy to App Engine as mentioned on this document.
This is also explained other tutorials such as this one, the reason for this is basically that the directories for WP are read only by default on App Engine, and since it's a managed service, you don't really have much control on the folder permissions.
Hope you find this useful!
I'm using a Google Cloud instance and I have set up Apache2, MySQL and PHP (LAMP).
I then downloaded and installed WordPress.
However I cannot install themes and plugins via wp-admin. WordPress asks me for an FTP user, which I do not have.
Do I really need this?
I changed the permissions to 755 and changed the owner of the file and the wp-content folder
For some reason it had not worked before, maybe cache.
Brand new site. latest version. All glossy and etc.
I went to add a theme. It asked me for my FTP login details. I added these, but now it just keeps falling over and saying:
Could not create directory
Where to from here?
Add this to your wp-config.php file, so it will not ask for FTP again.
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
If it does not work there are alot of solutions here
After that make sure your theme directory has the right permission you can read more about permission here: codex wordpress file permission
If you are not sure about permission, change wordpress, wp-content, wp-includes, wp-admin, plugins and themes to 755 and then install your theme.
Found it: ISPConfig3 does not work on Amazon Web Services because every user needs access to the instance, and adding them is a manual process :(
Swapping to Plesk.
I managed to delete an active plugin folder from my wordpress FTP and now the site is giving a white screen of death.
I found a copy of the folder in my backups and re-uploaded it but the site is still broken.
Try to disable all plugins directly from DB. Something like this
Then try if wordpress works. After that install plugins one by one and also install this which you manually delete it.
Try renaming the plugins folder through ftp to plugins_old, then refresh wp-admin.
Here is a possible solution.

If you follow these steps, it will help you deactivate only that plugin which is causing your site to fail. Once this is done your site will probably be back up and you can re-activate that plugin.
I accidentally changed owner of all files on my plone site to plone, and I don't know how to fix this without reinstalling site, which won't be acceptable.
I have backup version which keeps default owners but it's changed in the meanwhile on the dafault site. Maybe rsync can sync only ownerships between these copies???
Any idea would be precious.
