Admin area stating that I need to change the write permissions of folders that are already setup.

[ishi]

I have a site that was recently upgraded to 1.6.1.5 and we're having a few issues... one issue is that under "configuration information" in admin area it says the following:

 

 

 CHECK YOUR CONFIGURATION

Required parameters: Please fix the following error(s)

• Set write permissions for the "cache" folder.
• Set write permissions for the "img" folder and subfolders.
• Set write permissions for the "modules" folder and subfolders.

Optional parameters: OK

 

I have set all of these folders and subcursive subfolders to 777 but these "errors" in admin do not go away.

 

We're also not able to upload any new product photos and I'm wondering if this is connected?

Any ideas?

Yes, it's connected. Make sure the cache, img and modules folders and their subfolders have chmod 755 permissions and the files have chmod 644 permissions.

Just a heads-up. Had this same issue. Folder permissions were correct but the folder Group owner and owner were wrong which caused these errors.
