    Again about rights for the Content Directory

    Hi
    I am making a new installation of ATUTOR 1.4.2
    I am trying to use a COntent directory oustide the access from de internet.But i am having a problem with the rights.
    The installation directory is:
    www/hosts.shiftit.com.ar/docroot/capacitacion/ATutor

    The content directory has been created with chmod 777
    in
    /home/jbroide/capacitacion/

    As you can see /home/jbroide/ is my user.
    When I am installing i get these messages:
    If I try with /home/jbroide/capacitacion/ I get:
    Content Directory entered does not exist.
    If I try with /home/jbroide/
    I get :The Content Directory is not writable.

    The chmod 777 is for /home/jbroide/capacitacion/ not for /home/jbroide/, because the last one is my rootdirectory.

    One information that my be important that the server is a secure server.


    Things to describe:
    operating system -Linux
    version of ATutor -1.4.2

    Thank you very much
    JOSE

    Create and make writable

    If the message states the directory does not exist, then you will need to create it.

    to make the directory writable, use:

    chmod a+rwx content/ (preferred)
    or
    chmod -R 777 content/

    Follow the directions on the installation screen.

    Hi. The directory exists.

    IHi Greg
    The problem has been posted because the directory exists, their permissons are 777, but I get a message saying that the directory dosent exists.

    Do you have any idea?

    Double check

    This generally means the path you have entered is incorrect. Double check the path you have entered for typing errors.

    Also make sure there are no symbolic links in that path. You must use the real path to the directory, rather than a path that has been linked

    Also confirm that you are using the -R switch if you are using octal numbers (777) to set permissions. It will not work otherwise. Or, follow the instructions for setting permissions on the directory in step 5 of the installation using chmod a+rwx.
