wordpress can't create directory

I am already root and have executed chmod 755 wp-content, but the permissions remain the same as before: drwxr-sr-x (666).

drwxr-sr-x 13 root http 4096 Mar 4 11:54 wp-content.

my wordpress folder location is /srv/http/my file.

Thank you very much!

I would recommend ensuring that the file/directory that you are trying to modify belongs to the root user group:

sudo chown root file.name

Then using the -R flag:

sudo chmod -R 755 /path/to/file/

I have seen a number of similar posts over at superuser that turned out to be solved by the above recommendations.

Hope that helps!
