The solution:
It appeared that Rob's 'Files' folder name started with an uppercase 'F'. On Unix / Linux servers file names are case-sensitive,
After changing the folder name to 'files' (all lowercase) the problem was solved smile

Hi Rob,
That's rather strange. If the calendar can write to the root folder, then the permissions up to the root folder are fine, so there is only the 'files' sub-folder left.
If writing to the 'logs' sub-folder is OK, why would writing to the 'files' sub-folder fail? I don't know.
You didn't accidentally copy a .htaccss file to the files folder?
Could you delete the current 'files' folder and thereafter re-create it and then start the install510.php script with your browser (e.g. [https: //xxx.yoursite.eyy/yourcal/install510.php) and retry the 'Test'.
If this doesn't help, please send me the URL of your calendar by email (via the Contact Us page) and don't remove the install510.php file

Hi

Thanks for getting back to me.

It would appear to be the only one.


Here's what the install screen says:

Writing to the 'files' folder
Check file permissions on your server
Tests passed:
PHP version 7.3.28 Ok
PHP PDO-MySQL extension Ok
PHP sessions Ok
Form fields OK
Writing to the calendar's root folder
Writing an empty sql.log file to the 'logs' folder
Writing an empty luxcal.log file to the 'logs' folder

I have made the permissions for thr files folder to '777' but it's still saying the same.

thanks.

Rob

Hi Rob,
Is it only the 'files' folder that's causing problems?

Hi.
I tried what it says above as I was getting the same problem but it still does not work.

This is what i get:

Writing to the 'files' folder
Check file permissions on your server

I have tried changing it to 777 but it still won't work.

Any chance someone can help.

Thanks.

Rob

Thanks for the response. I realise now that I needed to stop work, have a sleep and feed and solve this. my poor description of the error failed to take into accout the fact that this is working under windows. and that a "W" was needed under the rights of users IUSR & IIS_IUSRS.

When you do to much you make mistakes.

Thanks again, stay safe

Have you looked at the folder and file permissions? Are they 0755?
