Problem setting up textpattern

In the Pre-Flight check under Diagnostics I have some errors. Image directory is not writable, File directory is not writable, Clean Url test failed, and a file path error that says it still exists. Can someone explain to me why these errors are coming up? thanks.

Re: Problem setting up textpattern

ok I see one of my problems and it’s talking about changing permissions on a folder w/ chmod 777. How do I go about doing this?

log on to your server via your ftp client. then you can generally right click whichever folder needs changing and choose “change attributes” or whatever it may be for you.

Re: Problem setting up textpattern

select the folder in question and hit option + i (look for “Ownership & Permissions”)

(or right/ctrl-click and “Get Info”)

Re: Problem setting up textpattern

Or if you open up Terminal (Applications/Utilities), you can do the following:

cd ~/Sites/dev_site/ (or wherever your root-txp install is)
chmod 777 files
chmod 777 images
