How can I give php permission to install a theme.

[Diesan Romero]

I’m using @ThemeHouse and they give me the options to install automatically the theme. I want to use this way because the theme will be updating automatically too. So, I have a VPS and I get these error, how can I fix that? How can I give permission to the php user?

Your XenForo directory is not writable by the PHP user. You can contact your host and recommend they use a method that allows PHP to run as the same user that owns the XenForo files or alternatively you can install your style manually.

I’m sorry, I’m not good writing English.

Make sure your data and internal_data directories (and it's content!) are world writable (chmod 777).

I did it right now, restarted apache, and I have the same problem

Themehouse uses their own plugin for downloading and installing themes. I think you also need the php-ftp plugin for it to work properly (it's working on my Ubuntu 18.04 VPS).

I assumed that the module required permissions to write to the javascript and styles folders. That was the problem.

Don't speak Spanish but I'm glad the problem is solved
