WordPress unable to write files in the server

You should be able to work around this by specifying your FTP credentials in wp-config.php as per the Codex.

Generally this sort of problem happens when switching from a handler where the PHP is executed as the Apache user to one where PHP runs under its own user, and the PHP user doesn’t have the same group memberships as Apache.
