Internal plugin template installations not possible on dedicated server

  • Hi,

    I use the plugin OptimizePress 2. There is an option to install more themes within the plugin.

    It gives you the possibility to click on “upload content template” then a file-uploader opens where you can select a template zip-file and upload it.

    Here the problems start that I don’t have on my shared account. Here on my dedicated server it says:

    “The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads”

    Then I change the permission of the wp-content/uploads to 777.

    Then it asks me:

    Hostname
    FTP Username
    FTP Password
    Connection Type

    When I fill in and click “proceed” it seems to upload, but not “install”… there’s simply the error:

    “Please select a file” and blank space (nothing to select)

    The plugin doesn’t move certain files to the wp-content/uploads, like it does on my Hostgator account.

    Now, I’ve tried a bunch of things:

    – check the path to “tmp” in php.ini
    – added IfModule mod_security.c code to htaccess
    – added Apache to the list of users for the wp-content
    folder, and give it read and write permissions

    I’m at my wits’ end.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Eddie

    This is clearly a misconfiguration issue. It looks as if there’s some security setting stopping you from performing the desired action. You could try to ask your shared hosting provider what their security settings for WP plugins are? Or, maybe you can ask technical support from your [link moderated] dedicated web hosting provider? Success!
