    failed permission in wordpress?

    I get this error when attempting to upload all-in-one-seo-pack.zip I'm using 0.2.1 version of PlugInstaller too.
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pluginstaller/



    I install wordpress manually and uploaded via ftp so permissions/chmod is correct. I am using php 4.4.7 / mysql 4.1x



    Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/user/public_html/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack.zip) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/user/public_html/wp-content/plugins/pluginstaller/install.php on line 14

    Actually, tmp is already a+rw, that wouldn't matter a bit.

    Firstly, don't use a "plugin installer" to install plugins. Come on, wordpress plugins are drop and go, it takes all of 5 seconds.
    If you have ssh:
    Download, upload to wp_dir/wp_content/plugins, uncompress
    If you DON'T have ssh:
    Download, uncompress, upload to wp_dir/wp_content/plugins

    Either way, you don't NEED a "plugin installer".

    If you insist on using this, then you must understand that you are risking not only your data, but the data of everyone else on the server, by changing the permissions to what they need to be. You need to make wp_dir/wp_content/plugins world writable (a+rw) . This is a MAJOR security risk and should never, ever, ever be done when you can simply follow the above way of doing things and have it done easily enough.
