try to use these commands
i hope this will help u..,,
$ sudo cp sites/default/default.settings.php sites/default/settings.php
Next, give the web server write privileges to the sites/default/settings.php
file with the command:
$ sudo chmod o+w sites/default/settings.php
So that the files directory can be created automatically, give the web server write privileges to the sites/default directory with the command:
$ sudo chmod o+w sites/default
