Hi - that error gives you clear instructions on what to do to fix it

The installation instructions have extra instructions on what to do too.

Nigel,

How do I give ownership to the directory? I'm pretty sure the directory exists. I tried to  chown <httpd>isaglob1/mhadata. But I got an error. When I chowned it without the apache <httpd> it changed owners successfully. I'm a bit stumped again. Am I getting close?

Hi Richardo,

There is good info on chown at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chown , but are you sure you don;t want to change the permissions using chmod (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod ) ?  My dataroot folder has 0775 as the permissions.

I use a windows program called WinSCP to do file transfers and stuff up to my site. IT also has a very easy properties thing you can use to change ownership and permission on any folder or file in your webserver, once you connect.  chmod and chown are often used infrequently by people, so sometimes it pays to have another "easier" way of looking at the settings, if not changing them.

Good luck,

Jamie

Hi - did you include the < and > symbols? They're not supposed to be there when you use that command. So you go:

chmod httpd /path/to/folder
