    Hi,

    I have Linux Mint for my personal web testing server. I use Apache 2 with 777 permission on all directories and subdirectories (include wp directories and files)

    When I try to upload a theme it will create the directory ‘upload’ and will upload theme.zip in that directory BUT when wp need to go to next stage (to create the directory in ‘wp-content/themes/’) it says that:
    “Installing Theme from uploaded file: family.0.3.0.zip
    Unpacking the package…

    Could not create directory.”

    I have 777 permission on ‘wp-content/themes/’ but I don’t understand what it happens.

    Please save me from that problem ??

    I solved the problem:

    In wp-config.php you need to put next line:
    define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);

    if someone will need ??
