Granting Write permissions for files in Linux

Give Write permissions on the “files” folder and “settings.php” file at "FioranoDeveloperPortal/sites/default/" directory so that the web server gets the permission to write.

To enable Write permissions, type the following commands in the command line:

cd <path/to/FioranoDeveloperPortal/sites/default/>
chmod a+w files/
chmod a+w settings.php

In case the files folder is missing at FioranoDeveloperPortal/sites/default, please use the command below before enabling Write permissions:

cd <path/to/FioranoDeveloperPortal/sites/default/>
mkdir files

If the write permissions are not set, then an error is thrown during installation.

Disable the Write permissions after installation to avoid security risks.

To disable write permissions, use the followingcommad:

cd <path/to/FioranoDeveloperPortal/sites/default/>
chmod a-w files/
chmod a-w settings.php
