Write permission issue during new installation

Post by vinayk »

Hello!

I am getting the following error when i point my browser to http://localhost/timetrex/interface/install/install.php

D:\AppServ\www\timetrex\interface\install\..\..\templates_c is NOT writable by your web server! For help on this topic click here.

Your web server is unable to create directories inside of: D:\AppServ\www\timetrex\interface\install\..\..\templates_c, please give your webserver write permissions to this directory. For help on this topic click here.

For installation support, please join our community forums or contact a TimeTrex support expert for Implementation Support Services


As per http://forums.timetrex.com/viewtopic.php?t=66, the solution given is for IIS Web server and not Apache. Moreover, it says "Locate the templates_c directory" but there is no such directory under D:\AppServ\www\timetrex\interface\install\...

I have set 'Everyone' "Full Control" permission for D:\ but to no avail.
Please help as i ain't able to figure this out.

My sysinfo is:

Windows XP Pro + SP2
Using AppServ 2.5.8 for Windows with
Apache Web server v2.2.4
PHP v5.2.1
MySQL DB v5.0.27

The templates_c directory is included in the original TimeTrex .ZIP file. So if that directory does not exist either it was deleted somehow, or you never uncompressed the archive properly.

I would try re-installing from scratch again and following that FAQ entry again to fix the permission issues.

You can also try installing Apache instead of IIS, as it doesn't have the same permission issues as IIS.
