XF 1.2 Problems regards installing add-ons and updating add-ons

[Gardamix]

Hello.

Ive moved from a shared hosting to a VPS @ ramnode.com

Ive used one of the guides from linode.com to set up and secure my VPS.

The db and forum works fine, but its when I am trying to install or update an add-on through the add-on installer by resource link I get errors, same as when I am trying to update an add-on.

Server Error

mkdir(): Permission denied

    XenForo_Application::handlePhpError()
    mkdir() in XenForo/Helper/File.php at line 68
    XenForo_Helper_File::createDirectory() in AddOnInstaller/ControllerAdmin/AddOn.php at line 134
    AddOnInstaller_ControllerAdmin_AddOn->actionInstallUpgrade() in XenForo/FrontController.php at line 347
    XenForo_FrontController->dispatch() in XenForo/FrontController.php at line 134
    XenForo_FrontController->run() in /home/lawlessmc/public/prison.pw/public/admin.php at line 13

Im also getting these server errors:

Thanks for every help I can get. Ive just configured the VPS from linode.com guides and uploaded and imported my old forum and database.

Anything else I need to do?
Ive also chmoded the data and interal-data folder to 777

That looks like a file ownership issue.

You may need to also chown the dirs/files.

Any methods to do this?

Yes, using the chown command.
