Permission denied related errors

When you receive a permission denied on the phplive/web/ directory or other similar permission denied errors for a file, it is due to web write permission not set properly on the phplive/web/ directory.  To correct this error, you simply need to enable full read/write access to the web/ directory so that the PHP Live! system can write into the directory in order to function correctly.

 

  1. Open an FTP connection to your web server.
  2. Access your phplive/ folder to view the contents.
  3. Locate the web/ folder and right click the folder name to display the directory options and select "File permissions" or "Permissions".
  4. Check ALL the boxes, including "recurse into subdirectories" and submit.
  5. Done!

 

Still not working?

 

Typically, permission denied errors can be corrected very easily at the server level.  You may want to contact your web server admin to see if any settings were changed at the server level.  If the above method does not set the correct permissions, a server admin with the proper administrative server access (such as root) can fix this very easily.  They will want to login through shell prompt and change the permissions on the web/ directory to full read write (chmod a+rw -R phplive/web/).
