Re: WhoAmI in PHP and getting Wordpress plugins to work without FTP

I am running WordPress with ZendServer CE (Community Edition) - the IBM i
version.

Note that I can manually FTP upload plugins, but would much prefer to use
the WordPress interface because it is so incredibly easy (when it doesn't
have permission issues that is).

And the commercial benefits are?








Hi all,

I was able to get WordPress up and running on my IBM i with relative

ease

and now I want to install additional plugins. The issue is that if the
user
profile used by the currently running script doesn't have access to the
folder where the plugin is going to be installed, then it will prompt

you

for FTP login information.

Here is an article that talks about the issue:

http://hecode.com/why-wordpress-asks-for-connection-info-when-i-try-to-insta

ll-new-plugin/

In the article then recommend creating a simple php script with the
following:

echo exec('whoami');

I did that, and it is executing successfully (no ZendServer error logs

or

warnings) but it returns blanks, so that doesn't help. I have even

gone

as

far as giving *PUBLIC all authority to the entire directory structure

with

the following command (running V6R1):


CHGAUT OBJ('/www/zendsvr') USER(*PUBLIC) DTAAUT(*RWX) OBJAUT(*ALL)
SUBTREE(*ALL)


Still no go.

Anybody else resolve this?
