Peter Wilson Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hi Sharks,Welcome to the PrestaShop Forum!By searching the Forum for "write permissions", I came across this "old post of mine":http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewreply/5451/. You need to add write permissions (777) on those folders. You can usually do so directly using your FTP software, often by right-clicking the folder and selecting "Properties" or "Get Info" or something similar. In the folder's information window is often found the ability to change folder permissions to 'Read & Write', also known as 777. Please consider Searching the Forum next time you encounter a problem. You may find the information you need quite easily! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Wilson Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hi Sharks,Hmmm, it could be that .PDF is not an acceptable attachment format.In any case, were you able to write permissions and complete the installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharks Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Ok so now I know. What is the format this thread accepts as an attachment? I tried HTML as well and it did not work. Yes I am just going through it and will see if that's acceptable I will let you know soon.CheersSharks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Wilson Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Strange, apparently all file types are allowed for attaching. I'll have a developer look into it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
