Wordpress RPM not showing plugins update

We have a Wordpress multisite 4.2.2 RPM installation on CentOS 6.6 and in the network plugins panel, the add plugin button and the plugins updates are not showing up (100% sure some plugins are not up to date).

The odd thing is when heading to /wp-admin/network/plugin-install.php, it says we haven't sufficient permissions to access the page. Note that we have a superadmin account.

So far, we tried to comment the config line define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', true ); and changing all the salt in the config ... no luck.

We tested our server connection to api.wordpress.org:443 and planet.wordpress.org:443 without any problem.

Also note that we have a second WP installation on the same server (not multisite) which is working as intended.

Any clue is welcome, thanks !

What exactly do you mean by an "RPM installation"? -If it is installed with a package manager, then I can imagine steps have been taken (ie. wordpress has been patched) to only allow the package manager to update the install - including plugins... Can you explain in more detail how it was installed? - Mikk3lRo
Have you tried setting DISALLOW_FILE_MODS to false (ie. not just commenting it out, but setting it explicitly to false) - how about define('AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', false); Can you add the full content of wp-config.php (commenting out your sensitive information obviously)? - Mikk3lRo
Yes it's a package installation. - Aurélien Grimpard

We find out it was a problem with the config.

We needed to keep define('AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true); and we commented define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', true );. But DISALLOW_FILE_MODS need to be set as false, not just commented otherwise default value is true i guess.
