XF 2.1 [URGENT] Must be Writable

[Charlie J]

Hi there,

The following errors occurred while verifying that your server can run XenForo:         

                                
    The directory /var/www/<xxx>/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 /var/www/<xxx>/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.
                        

       Please correct these errors and try again.

I've changed chmod to 777 even recursive (-R) yet same error applies.

I've tried latest xenforo 2, even 2.1.0 (2/3 ver behind).

I'm using nginx, with php 7.

Thanks.

Are you running selinux by any chance? Ownership is ok for your nginx?

Yep, I fixed it just before you replied, appreciate it.
