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 webserver 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:

CODE

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 following command:

CODE

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

Refer to the following link for a better understanding of file permissions in Linux, Unix, Mac: https://www.drupal.org/node/202483

Setting up the Access Level permissions (optional)

Edit the DeveloperPortalConfig.ini properties file present at FioranoDeveloperPortal/config/ with relevant details.

The Access Level for products may be preconfigured in this properties file.
