dean0088 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I just backed up my site, and then tried moving it to a different directory. It didn't really do what I wanted it to do so I moved it back. Now I get the following errors: When I access the site I get this error Warning: I am not able to write to the sessions directory: /var/www/vhosts/theautographnut.com/httpdocs/./tmp. Sessions will not work until the right user permissions are set. When I access my admin I get this error Error: Catalog images directory is not writeable: /var/www/vhosts/theautographnut.com/httpdocs/./images/ Can someone please help out with this.

brianstorm Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 these are linux file permissions which control read / write / execcute permissions for files & folders... this page has quite a decent explanation of them http://willmaster.com/possibilities/archiv...020312001.shtml what you need to do is to make the directories specified in the error messages writeable by the user that is doing the writing - i think that this will be the same user that apache runs as (possibly apache, httpd, or something else entirely) - you also don't want to give other people rights that they shouldn't have as this is a security risk.... anyway, chmod is the linux command which you can google... read the page above too.... with ten thousand dollars we'll all be millionaires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
