Permission error.

If you have shell access then try running these commands to recursively set permissions in those directories:

chmod -R 777 data

chmod -R 777 internal_data

You might also try 755 permissions. Depending on how PHP is installed, 755 may still be writable. I have seen some server configurations throw errors with 777.

I've ran them, and the problem seems to be solved. Do these permissions also change the owner or something? Because in cPanel I had changed it to 777, but it didn't make a difference.

It doesn't change the owner, but it does set permissions in all subdirectories.
