I installed WordPress on my Joyent accelerator by following the wiki instructions but since they’re a bit older, ran into a couple of problems that required some after-the-fact tweaking.
Basically, if you want to use the sexy new WP capabilities for automatically upgrading, directly uploading themes, etc you want to ensure that the process running WP can access the files. I had uploaded WP as a user, so my list files were owned by ashenfelter.com:ashenfelter.com while new files created by WP plugins (eg sitemap.xml) were owned by www:www. Solution?
web/public >sudo chown -R www:www .
As dozens if not hundreds of posts on the WP forums/etc warn — please DO NOT try to solve this kind of problem by chmod 777 unless you like being hacked.
