    I just uploaded wordpress through ftp and created mysql user db and pass and followed this guide:
    Nginx Wordpress Configuration - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS

    without following the part:
    Advanced Nginx Wordpress Configuration + Fastcgi_cache + Nginx Helper Plugin

    however when I upload image in wordpress admin dashboard I get :
    Uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads

    what permission should I change for this to work and what's the command? @eva2000

    I saw that these persmission commands solves it, but in the context of centminmod how do I apply them?
    sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html
    sudo chmod -R 774 /var/www/html

    Nginx 1.13.9
    MariaDB 10.1.31
    Code (Text):
    chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public
chmod -R 755 /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public/wp-content/uploads

    Replace domin.com with your domain name.

    Second command assumes Wordpress is domain.com and not installed in an inner directory.

    this worked thanks!
    but the question is does this pose any security risk?

    Nginx 1.31.x
    MariaDB 10.x/11.4+/12.3+
    How are you loading files ? via root user in sftp or via generated pure-ftpd virtual user ? See getting started guide step 2 if you're using root user via sftp

    Not if you don't go higher. Some folders higher are owned by root but everything after "public" should be fine.

    via root sftp cuz even though I created user and password ftp when creating new site via centmin sh menu, I get connection refused when login through filezilla so I just use root account sftp
