Hiii,  we all know that wordpress installation is very easy on any platform but installing plugins, widgets and themes other than as provided with the wordpress causes some problem on platforms other than windows i.e. on Linux or Mac. It asks you to enter FTP details like Hostname, FTP username , FTP password and connection type to provide with your installation. The error screen looks like :

So, in this post I will be telling how to solve this error in Linux platform. It has been tested by me on the Ubuntu version of Linux.

It is very easy to solve this error and to solve it , just follow the simple steps :
1. Just go to the directory in which you have installed or placed your wordpress folder.
2. Then in that folder just open the file "wp-config.php".
3. In that "wp-config" file just write the lines any where in the file as given below :
define( 'FS_METHOD', 'direct' );
define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0777 );
define( 'FS_CHMOD_FILE', 0777 );
4. Then save that file and now again try to install anything like plugin,widget or new theme in your wordpress and now error will be gone.
