We have had all sorts of issues using the WHAM module.
Nothing different our end - just installed it on one 5208R server to save having to do it manually and every time we have had constant permission errors.

Most developers like to tweak files and upload custom css. WHAM installs as root so FTP won’t allow changes.
WP seems to need apache ownership to install plugins.
All in all we have found that it is easier to do a manual install TBH.
