File and tmp directory path is not writable

i have triple checked – files and tmp directories has been set to 077, but diagnostic tool still screaming:

“File directory path is not writable: /srv/n1/w/eoy/afatar/html/kodukakk/textpattern/files
Temporary directory path is not writable: /srv/n1/w/eoy/afatar/hml/kodukakk/textpattern/tmp”

i don’t know anymore what more i should do…

Re: File and tmp directory path is not writable

It gives the same warning message also when the path is incorrect, aka directory is not found.

For example, if your site path is

/srv/n1/w/eoy/afatar/html/kodukakk

Then by default, your files path should be:

/srv/n1/w/eoy/afatar/html/kodukakk/files

And not inside textpattern directory.

With your temp path it seems to be the same deal. There is slight typo in the path. Instead:

/srv/n1/w/eoy/afatar/hml/kodukakk/textpattern/tmp

Possibly it should point to:

/srv/n1/w/eoy/afatar/html/kodukakk/textpattern/tmp

Further to Jukka’s suggestion (and ONLY if that does not fully work) you can set the permissions to 777
