Image directory is not writable
In diagnostics I get:
Image directory is not writable: /var/www/images
File directory path is not writable: /var/www/files
I changed both dirs to 755. I’m running LAMP on my laptop with textpattern.
use1@gi6:/var/www$ ls -l
total 36

Re: Image directory is not writable
user@gig:/var/www$ sudo chown www-data:www-data images
user@gig:/var/www$ sudo chown www-data:www-data files
Fixed it. Noticed the Apache service user is www-data. Read also it’s diagnostic the owner/group is an issue if just changing to 777 fixes it…which it did. So tried different name:group and fixed it with permissions indeed being 755. Can someone explain why?

Re: Image directory is not writable
Perhaps this explains it.
