new install - config.php is not writable

Post by edwinhane »

Hello

I am trying to install phpbb and I am running in to a problem on the get go.

PHPBB is saying that my config.php file is unwritable.

To start with, we ar eusing debian 9 as our server.

The first two things that I thought thast might help was to thange th epermissions. I made it:
775

That did nto work. So,changed th eowner to:

www-data

I am not sure where to look.

Thanks for help.

You might want to take a look at phpBB3 Chmod Permissions for correct file permission settings.
