I am trying to install a plugin for Wordpress on Ubuntu 14.04 Server but it keeps failing. I assume it is a rights issue because of a directory not being able to create. This is my last ditch effort I have Googled and looked all I could but nothing has worked. Here is the error it happens on any plugin:

Downloading install package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/syntaxhighlighter.zip…

Unpacking the package…

Could not create directory.

Correct and proper method would be to correct the permissions as per this question.

However to test you can always set the permissions on the entire wp-content/ directory to 777. Obviously this is a massive security risk and you shouldn't leave your directories like that.

See here for the dangers of 777.
