Addon install problem with permissions

[jtorral]

Sorry to ask again but I cannot find a definite answer to this.

As its stand, when I click on Install/.Upgrade from archive, I get the proverbial message ...

Oops! We ran into some problems.
Cannot install from archive as not all required directories are writable. Various directories must be writable by the web server user to install from an archive. In addition to the XF root directory, some or all of the following paths must be writable: js, src/addons, styles, src/XF/Repository/AddOn.php.

Even after this below ...

chmod -R 777 js
chmod -R 777 src
chmod -R 777 styles

$config['enableAddOnArchiveInstaller'] = true;

I still get the same message.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Which web server do you use? You have to chown the folder that contains your site, for me with nginx it is like this

chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/domain.com

Ah, I just changed to apache and that resolved it.
