Warning mkdir()
January 14, 2009, 03:01:22 pm
I just installed CiviCrm, and this is the message I get when I go to the CiviCRM HOME:

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in ...administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Utils/File.php on line 114
Error: Could not create directory: ...media/civicrm/templates_c/en_US/.

What is wrong?  How do I fix?? Thank yoU!

This problem is related to permission of folder

just give the recursive 777 OR writable permission to media directory under joomla or civicrm directory under joomla/media/
Eg.
chmod 777 -R media

Anyone?  Should I just try to re-install?  What is causing this is all my permissions are set to 777?

May be re-installing might help. Also before reinstalling make sure there is no civicrm directory in media folder. Then chmod -R 777 media.
