How do I make a textpattern directory writable, on a localserver ?

Hi,

I’ve installed textpattern on my wamp.

I’m having this Pre-flight check:

“File directory path is not writable: http://localhost/dc_textpattern/files
Temporary directory path is not writable: http://localhost/dc_textpattern/textpattern/textpattern/tmp”

At my webserver (textdrive) I know how to make these directorys writable, using the sftp.

But on a localserver I do not know how to do it?

Sorry if it’s kind of a silly question…

Windows already allows files and folders to be writable. Your problem is that you have entered urls not paths. Open up your config file, and look at the $txpcfg['txpath'] line to see the kind of thing it expects.

On my computer, one of my Txp installs is at C:\webdev\www\public\txp\dev\textpattern, so the files folder is at C:\webdev\www\public\txp\dev\files and the tmp folder is at C:\webdev\www\public\txp\dev\textpattern\tmp.
