XF 1.4 Making data files world writeable

[zombiekiller804]

Hello folks. I need support. I can't find the files data and internal_data. But when setting up my forums I get this message.

• The directory /usr/www/*****/public/data must be writable. Please change the permissions on this directory to be world writable (chmod 0777). If the directory does not exist, please create it.
• The directory /usr/www/*****/public/internal_data must be writable. Please change the permissions on this directory to be world writable (chmod 0777). If the directory does not exist, please create it.

It sounds like you downloaded the upgrade package to do a fresh install. You may wish to download the full package instead. Alternatively, as the message recommends, you can create the data/ and internal_data/ directories (and then chmod them if necessary).

I got it to work it seems. Thank you for the support.
