At my company we use Wordpress as a pretty front-end to our custom home-grown applications. The reason we do this is so that the Marketing team can easily update the website without the need of a developer.
We run Wordpress ourselves using Ubuntu Linux, and I ofter hear people complain that there is a message in the admin dashboard that says stuff like "Please make sure your .htaccess file is writable" or if someone wants to add a plugin, they are prompted for FTP information.
To fix all of that I just set the correct permissions in the directory where our Wordpress files are located. Let's say we keep them in /var/www, to set the correct permissions you would run:

sudo chmod 755 /var/www/ -RThen you would make sure the Apache2 user had ownership by running:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/wwwThat's it! Now your users will be able to install plugins, perform Wordpress upgrades etc. without any issues!
