This seems to be a common error when installing Concrete5 with Xampp but I can't find a fix that makes sense to me.
This is the error I get: The packages/application/config/ and the applications/files/directories must be writable by your web server.
Is this a XAMPP error or a concrete5 error?
I don't know where to find CHMOD or how to change the permissions and none of the documentation I'm reading (copius amounts until my eyes cross) is telling me HOW TO CHANGE THE CHMOD!!!
Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction?
I am using XAMPP. 5. 6. 3 and have downloaded Concrete5 newest version as of 5/8/2016. I am using windows 7 pro on a pc.
This is a pre-installation error but all the docs ASSUME you know where to change the CHMOD and I do not. Everything else on my screen has a green checkmark except the files/directories etc area.
Running the tests is useless as all it does is tell you that you have an error (duh) and to go to the forums. I did. ALMOST ALL of the documentation there is YEARS old and when I found some with this error, again, it says change the CHMOD to 777 but WHErE IS IT?? I have been through eVer INI file I have on there.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!! I'm at my WITS end and I am too old for this.
Thank you!! [/color]
