hi,

i am trying to install a plugin but i get the following error message...
"Unable to locate WordPress Content directory (wp-content)."

i can install them by hand okay but obviously i want them to be handled by
the admin panel.

to fix this problem i think i need to create a wordpress user with the home
folder set to /usr/share/wordpress because other wise it logs into the
servers admin account which is in /home/admin and can't find wp-content
because its in /usr/share/wordpress.

otherwise i think a co-solution is to change the location of where wp thinks
it is as a result of the standard 5min instructions which would be /var/www
by default.

does wp have a default location it expects to be located specified perhaps
in wp-config.php or some similar file?

please advise.
