I'm using a VPS setup, on LEMP stack, and have a few minor issues with plugins. I can install / upgrade plugins just fine, but quite often, directories cannot be created and I have to manually create them myself. My entire WordPress installation has a group / owner of a specific user, not www-data. I've been reading up on this, and it seems I may want to have wp-content group as my user, but owner be www-data. I've also read this may be the case for the wp-admin folder as well, though I haven't seen a reason, yet.
Can anyone confirm this, or toss me some information on the matter?
It sounds like you need to change the permissions on the server. So you're definately going in the right direction.
However, changing the permissions is something that can open up your site to hackers. It might be worth contacting your VPS provider or asking this question on hosting/WP security forums. You might have a better chance of someone being able to answer your question.
