I found out, also, that you may have to use 127.0.0.1 as your hostname instead of localhost. I am having a problem with installing themes, also. The problem is that WordPress cannot create the directories/files it needs to create to install the themes. I am fairly certain that my directory privileges are correct, and I know I have vsftpd running, and that the configuration is set up as they are in the tutorial. Let me go step by step in what I am doing: 1. I go to "Install Themes" and choose WPFolio 1.72". 2. I enter in hostname 127.0.0.1, username (my username), password (my password), connection type "FTP" and I click proceed. 3. WP begins to attempt to download and create the files needed for the installation, but it says it cannot create the files/directories needed. Example output: Installing Theme: WPFolio 1.72 Downloading install package from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/wpfolio.1.72.zip… Unpacking the package… Could not create directory. /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/upgrade/wpfolio.tmp As a test of my file permissions, I manually created the /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/upgrade directory already, since WP had failed to create this directory. No problem there. I've granted my user and group recursive ownership of this directory, as the tutorial says to do. I'm not sure what the problem is. Tan Wei Song Beck is correct.

I am not sure whether any of you guys actually encountered the same problem with me but I just want to share. During the point where you need to enter the connection information. If you are unable to install using localhost, then change to use 127.0.0.1 because for me, I am unable to set the host as 'localhost'. Hope it helps.

Can you post your vsftpd.conf file?

I always use this great source of information when I have questions on a particular issue on software tools or development. By the way, my username is setner.

Finally I installed Wordpress locally successfully! I first uninstalled all the packages by doing "sudo aptitude purge package-name" just to be sure. Then I reinstalled everything with "sudo aptitude install package-name" and during the reinstall process I realize what my original mistake was. I had forgotten to press the spacebar when choosing what server phpmyadmin would run under. I did not read carefully enough and assumed the fact that 'apache2' was highlighted red meant that was the selected one. Anyways, once I got into http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/ I realized that I did not have a username and password so I could not follow along with setting up a database that way. I ended up using the MYSQL client in the terminal which worked out fine. Now my issue is getting the FTP set up right. It keeps saying I have the wrong username/password for the username that I enter. It makes no sense because when during this entire tutorial set up the FTP username and password. This part of the tutorial is missing. Am I missing something? Ok. Finally I installed WordPress locally successfully!

I don't know if that did anything bad. When I saw that phpmyadmin did not work the first time, I uninstalled everything with "sudo apt-get remove package_name". Then I reinstalled everything again with aptitude. When reinstalling mysql-server-5.1 and php5 phpmyadmin I was not stopped during the installation to pick a password and choose a server respectively. So I assume this means that these preferences (which were saved in a config file somewhere) were not deleted during the apt-get removing process. I read that apt-get does not remove all dependencies that are simultaneously installed with the main package. Perhaps this had something to do with it.
