If we are talking about Unicode + xkcd you ought to mention 1726. In fact, what is depictured there, is exactly what OP is doing here ;-)

@SnakeDoc In a lot of EU countries there are cases where you have more then 7 month of severance (when you were employed for +20 years) and yet companies in those countries are still somehow surviving. ;-)

This is somewhat OT, because your question doesn't ask this, but I think you should also definitely look into FIRE (Financial Independence & Early Retirement). Your current life situation (high paying IT job in a HCOL area & wish to travel a lot) is somewhat predestined for that. With the only condition beeing comfortable with living frugal for a few years. You may want to check out The Shockingly Simple Math Behind Early Retirement.

My electric company once "forgot" to invoice me for two complete years. They didn't feel the need to apologize or justify when finally sending an invoice - you shouldn't be either. Look up the legal limitation period for your area and if the amount is still billable there is really no reason to "discuss" it with them or pass on a single cent.

You are welcome. :)

Okay. I'm off for a round of gaming now .... have a nice evening. ;)

In the end hindsight is 20/20 I would say. Glad it's working now.

You solved it yourself I would say. :p

:)

Unfortunately I'm not into SELinux at all ;)

yeah, ... I had the same thought. ;)

I guess you need to somehow enable it for anything in wp-content including subfolders ... :|

I'm pretty sure it must be SELinux.

ummm ... this doesn't make any sense.

Lets try 775 ...

Must work. :|

I see.

and you have "direct" still in your wp-config?

Doesn't look quite right to me, yet. :|

hummm

:)

where is the wordpress site?

your username is apache ;-)

can you show the phpinfo?

:)

I got 11.

Ah okay. Which version?

or put it into a pastebin.com ...

ya, dunno if chat can handle it.

Could you just copy & paste the whole content here?

Back to phpinfo ...

hmmm ... okay. :p

Ok, I'm sure we can make it without SSH. ;)

that's annoying. Too bad ...

ok :)

port 22 still blocked :(

That would be great, ... I could swear the user info must be somewhere in there. ;)

Can you give the link to the phpinfo in the meanwhile, or is it internal only?

hmmm ... guess that would be the fastest way. I would be fine to have a quick look. But please change the password - you shouldn't give random strangers on the internet your root-password and the chat protocols are public. ;)

yeah, the WP ftp handler isn't that great ... but it must work without it.

yeah, exactly.

Networking/firewalls shouldn't change anything about file permissions ....

No, I don't think so.

mod_php or php-fpm maybe?

... did you follow a tutorial to setup the Apache? Do you know which request handler is used?

There should be "Environment" only.

In the section "Environment" there is a variable "USER".

I think your SELinux maybe doesn't like posix_geteuid().

The information about the user should also be in the phpinfo output somewhere under "Environment", but it should be fine either way.

and if you just put phpinfo(); into the wordpress index.php after the opening <?php ...
