Make Server Compatible with WordPress automatic updates and plugin installation

[Maze]

dear phpfreaks

 

i need to set up the server  for a wp installation

 

WordPress is the most popular CMS (content management system) used on the internet today. While many people use it because it is powerful and simple, sometimes people make a trade-off for convenience at the expense of security.

There are some questions that arise: how we need to choose to assign directory ownership and permissions, and how we choose to perform upgrades.

 

There are a variety of different methods to do this. i want to choose a relatively secure way of upgrading and installing themes and plugins. Can i do this with

– filezilla – WinSCP

what is needed on the server to do this – which apache modules: do i need suPHP for example?

love to hear from you

Some good advice on this can be found here - you can set directory and file permissions with FileZilla, of course, or manually through the command line if you have root access to your server.
