Description

Hi,

I have a setup with the ssh keys in the home folder and the actual WP installation under /var/www/[sitename].

So far I used the SSH SFTP Updater Support plugin but that broke so I tried to use the ssh2 FS_METHOD.

I now keep seeing the error: Unable to locate WordPress content directory (wp-content).

I read about issues #32345 and #33919 and verified that my installation comes with the fix: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/34738

Still, ssh2 is not working for me.

I found a remark there:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-update-ssh2-fails-unable-to-locate-wordpress-root-directory/
that says the function exists returns false when it should not, so maybe the fix is broken in certain cases?

I use WordPress 4.7.4, Ubuntu 16.04, PHP 7 with SSH 2 (according to phpinfo):

extension version: 1.0
libssh2 version: 1.5.0
banner: SSH-2.0-libssh2_1.5.0

Not sure what enabling verbose did in class-wp-filesystem-base.php, but maybe I see the following info as a result?:

Looking for /var/www/firsttechfirst.com/wp-content in /home/xyz/
Looking for /var/www/firsttechfirst.com/wp-content in /
Unable to locate WordPress content directory (wp-content).

Wp FS Tester says the following:

Connection Method	ssh2
ABSPATH	/var/www/firsttechfirst.com/
PLUGINDIR	wp-content/plugins
FS Errors	None
FS CWD	/home/xyz/
FS WordPress Locator	Looking for /var/www/firsttechfirst.com in /home/xyz/
Looking for /var/www/firsttechfirst.com in /
FS WordPress Location	
FS0 WordPress Locator (Old code)	Changing to /home/xyz/
FS0 WordPress Location (Old code)	
Tests Stopped; Error: WordPress could not be located	Files in folder

Just to check I also tried the suggested change that would take the FTP_CONTENT_DIR into account and I got a different error in that case (something like: "Error: undefined") even though base, content and plugin dir were defined.

I did check for similar tickets and obviously the support forums as well ...
hope it is okay to create this. Thanks!

Hello @andythiel, welcome to WordPress Trac!

Thanks for your report. You setup (PHP 7 with SSH 2) sounds like it might be the same issue as mentioned in #35517. Can you confirm that?

It does sound suspicious. Have not seen that, sorry.

I tried the fixes from the diff and I get different (permission related?) error messages now.
It probably makes sense to close this as a duplicate right away. Thanks!

This locate-wp-content-problem-via-ssh2 does not look like an exact duplicate of #35517 (php-ssh2 breakage). Thanks to a patch by Ralphm, I was able to reproduce and solve this problem without changing or fixing php-ssh2. The patch is published under #35517 (look for @ralphm).

I am replying here, because this ticket has keywords 'wordpress locate ssh2', #35517 is harder to find if there are wordpress update problems through ssh2
