Cannot install plugins on Centos VPS

Okay, I figured this out based upon suggestions from StackOverflow. This is how I resolved this issue:

I created a group called ftpusers.

groupadd ftpusers

I added my wordpress user to this group.

usermod -a -G ftpusers wordpressuser

I changed ownership of the wordpress folder recursively to my wordpress user:group.

chown -R wordpressuser:ftpusers wordpress

Voila — my package installed.
