Hello,

I am getting following error while running gallery 2. 3 upgrader.
I have set the required permissions (777) to "gallery2" directory.

Error:
Inaccessible or missing files (1)
Error: Some files and or directories in your storage directory are not writeable by the webserver user. Run chown -R webserverUser /mysite/website/gallery2/ OR run chmod -R 777 /mysite/website/gallery2/.

Note:/mysite/website/gallery2/ is the path to access gallery2 in my local server

Please help me to sort out the issue.

Thank you.

so your storage directory is the same as your codebase directory?

Hi,

Yes, My storage directory is same as my codebase directory. But I don't have any issue to change it , if required.
Can you please help me to sort out the issue.

Thank you

The upgrader does not lie, if it complains that a file in the storage directory is "Inaccessible or missing" it is true.
run chmod -R 777 /mysite/website/gallery2/ the -R is for recursive, as in all files and folders must be read/write for everybody

AND that is where the issue would appear. You don't want your entire codebase read/write for everybody - best to keep storage/codebase separate.

FAQ: How can I fix the filesystem permissions of the Gallery storage folder?
