Hi, I used standard configuration script from /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql.gz.
This section is interesting: echo Trying to create wp-content directory: $CONTENT mkdir -p $CONTENT ln -sf /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/themes $CONTENT/themes ln -sf /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/plugins $CONTENT/plugins ln -sf /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/languages $CONTENT/languages echo Setting up permissions mkdir -p $CONTENT/blogs.dir $CONTENT/uploads chown -R root:www-data $CONTENT/blogs.dir $CONTENT/uploads chmod -R 0774 $CONTENT/blogs.dir $CONTENT/uploads I do not understand, why themes, plugins and languages dirs are symlinks, and for uploads and blogs.dir is created a directory. If I have a look into wordpress_3.6.1+dfsg-1~deb7u3_all.deb package, all five dirs are there with appropriate privilegies: /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/plugins /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/languages /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/themes /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/blogs.dir /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/uploads So I would expect to make a symlinks to all these dirs from /srv/www/wp-content/<example.com>/. This is my working configuration: $ ls -l /srv/www/wp-content/dracula/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Jul 21 21:10 blogs.dir -> /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/blogs.dir lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Mar 1 14:47 languages -> /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/languages lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Mar 1 14:47 plugins -> /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/plugins lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Mar 1 14:47 themes -> /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/themes lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Jul 21 21:10 uploads -> /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/uploads $ ls -l /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/ total 20 drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 Sep 14 2013 blogs.dir drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 1 18:46 languages drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 16 22:10 plugins drwxr-xr-x 33 root root 4096 Jul 20 16:43 themes drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 Jul 22 19:16 uploads Regards, Zbynek On Tue, Jul 22, 2014 at 2:32 PM, Craig Small <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Jul 21, 2014 at 09:45:11PM +0200, Zbynek Michl wrote: >> It is impossible to correctly upload an image into Media Library and use it >> afterwards. > Strangely enough, for a lot of people including myself its very > possible. > >> If we setup symlink to /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/uploads directory, then >> the picture is uploaded and showed correctly, i. e.
