Bugs » LinkEX Error

added on Mar 25, 2008 by forbidden
I recently experienced a problem with my server and am now getting an error on each of my LinkEX installs.

The directory (/home/*****/public_html/linkex) is not writable
- the directory is owned by "*****" while the webserver process is runned as "nobody"

Any ideas of what might be causing this problem?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

hey,

as the "error" suggests, you need to change the permissions the folder which LinkEX is installed into.
The directory is most likely "owned" by you, while Apache runs as "nobody", so you need to grant
access to "nobody" to write to the directory.
You can either "chmod", change the permissions, or "chown", change the ownership, of the directory.

If you're in doubt, you should ask your webhost what permissions you should give the directory, they ought to know it
:)
