Plugins don't update

I get the following error while I try to update my plugins

An error occurred while updating WordPress SEO: Could not remove the old plugin.

Please provide me the following details

ls -lah /path/to/plugin

The permission is wrong

you need to run following command to fix the permission issue

chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/website

Thanks that worked :slight_smile:

BTW, links like http://www.techwithlove.com/wp-content/uploads/ show error 403. Is it okay?

EasyEngine don’t allow directory listing

In your upload folder there is no index.php or index.html file so its return 403 Forbidden for the directory listing

Hi @sakshamtalwar,

I hope your query is resolved. I am closing this support ticket for now.
