Wordpress cannot create directory on theme install

Brand new site. latest version. All glossy and etc.

I went to add a theme. It asked me for my FTP login details. I added these, but now it just keeps falling over and saying:

Could not create directory

Where to from here?

Found it: ISPConfig3 does not work on Amazon Web Services because every user needs access to the instance, and adding them is a manual process :(

Swapping to Plesk.

Add this to your wp-config.php file, so it will not ask for FTP again.

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

If it does not work there are alot of solutions here

After that make sure your theme directory has the right permission you can read more about permission here: codex wordpress file permission

If you are not sure about permission, change wordpress, wp-content, wp-includes, wp-admin, plugins and themes to 755 and then install your theme.
