![]() Vagrant creates everything based on a vagrant file. Make sure you installed all of these tools first, if so, you are ready to go! Step 1 – Select a Vagrant file & additional plugins I’m sure you can use google to look up more information, so instead of explaining everything, let me show you a very quick vagrant tutorial.īefore you start, you will need to install these things for this tutorial: For example you can have test virtual servers on:Īddresses, each with any configuration you want. – you can tell Vagrant to start up any of these servers as a virtual machine in the background, and you can access their wen folder in your browser on an address you define. How is this any useful, you might ask? Well, imagine you have folders on your computers with different configuration files for different types of web servers. It basically wraps a virtualization software, and a configuration management software together. It allows you to emulate any types of virtual development environments. Vagrant is a very easy to use command line tool with lots of unique and great features. It has more than enough features for a simple WordPress developer – since most hosting companies use very similar configurations to XAMPP. I’ve been using XAMPP for a very long time, as it was very comfortable to use, and it just simply worked. The greatest advantage of using local development server is that you don’t depend on a hosting provider, and it works without internet as well (in most cases). This is it! Everything seems to work just fine using hostname "localhost" username "nobody" and password "xammp".I’m sure most if not every developer is using some kind of local server tool for development. The config file also defaults "xamp" as password for the daemon user, so I just changed the user in this line for nobody: # Set the user and group that the server normally runs at. My wordpress directory is running under nobody:nogroup so I changed this line into nf : Reading the file I realized that it considers the server is running under ownership of "daemon:daemon". I'm also put permissions and ownership back to default the best I could (permissions 755 for directories and 644 for files, ownership nobody:nogroup except for wp-config which is owned by root:root)Įdit 2: Solution:: Xampp comes with Proftpd as ftp server which is configured by this config file /opt/lampp/etc/nf. Any tips?Įdit: I managed to install the theme I wanted by extracting it in the proper folder, but still looking for a more definitive solution. I found that the config file is /opt/lampp/etc/nf but I don't know what should I look into. On Xampp control panel I can't find any option about ftp config. Sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/lampp/htdocs//wordpress.īy no success I mean, the site keeps asking my ftp credentials. I tried both localhost and localcost//wordpress (/wordpress is my path). ![]() I tried to follow John's solution but I'm not sure, what should I type in hostname. I'm running into the same problem here with Linux Mint and Xampp. This will change the permission settings in all of the folders inside your local site and allow folders/files to be created by plug ins or themes. Right click on the root folder of your site> click 'Get Info' > click on the lock in the bottom right part of new window open> put your admin password>change permission settings for your folder> click on the gear icon and click on 'apply to enclosed items." In order to change the folder permission you have to do this. The reason why is because of permission settings in your development site folder. It will show you no problems when you download the theme but it will not create the folder inside your project. "direct" forces it to use Direct File I/O requests from within PHP, but this could create security issues so i suggest to comment/delete this line once you put your files in a life host.Īlso you may run into another problem once you try to install themes. Another way to make sure that you can install wordpress themes and plugins without any problems is adding the following line to the wp-config.php file.
