XF 2.1 mkdir(): Permission denied in src/XF/Util/File.php at line 281

[Ciaran Baker]

Hey, I'm trying to create a new cron entry yet I'm facing the error in the title.

However, the directory /src/XF/Util/ has got 777 permissions so this shouldn't be an issue. Ideas?

No - /src/XF/Util is the folder where File.php exists, not where it is trying to write.

It's trying to write development output - are you creating an addon? Your addon folder needs to be writable by the web server so it can generate and populate the _output folder.
