Issue Operation not permitted WP installer

Reza Moesawi

New Pleskian
Hello,

I'm trying to install Wordpress on domain livegoals.nl via the Plesk panel. So when I'm trying to install it, I get these errors:

Installatie van WordPress in https://livegoals.nl/ is mislukt. Unable to change mode for /var/www/vhosts/livegoals.nl/httpdocs: Operation not permitted
Unable to change mode for /var/www/vhosts/livegoals.nl/httpdocs: Operation not permitted
Unable to create directory /var/www/vhosts/livegoals.nl/httpdocs/blogs
Unable to create directory /var/www/vhosts/livegoals.nl/httpdocs/blogs

So this is the second time that I am installing Wordpress. The first time, I did it on the domain ictclub.nl and it worked without any errors. But, at that time I was quite new to Plesk. So the domain ictclub.nl is installed on the wrong way =>

Normally it would be like this : /var/www/vhosts/ictclub.nl but now it is like this: /var/www/vhosts/vps239629.ovh.net/ictclub.nl. So its two domains in one. And the same story for another domain that I've got.

But for livegoals.nl there are no issues: /var/www/vhosts/livegoals.nl. Yet I can't install WP on it due to some permissions issue and meanwhile ICTclub and another domain of mine are stored away into my local domain.
