From your root install directory, you need to do this in the command line:
chmod a+w sites/default
Once installation is complete, you then:
chmod go-w sites/default

Sorry,
This is the error which I'm getting:
File system The directory /sites/default/files/ is not writable. An automated attempt to create this directory failed, possibly due to a permissions problem. To proceed with the installation, either create the directory and modify its permissions manually or ensure that the installer has the permissions to create it automatically. For more information, see INSTALL.txt or the online handbook http://drupal.org/server-permissions.
Settings file The settings file is not writable. The Drupal installer requires write permissions to /./sites/default/settings.php/ during the installation process. If you are unsure how to grant file permissions, consult the online handbook http://drupal.org/server-permissions.

Hi, I'm installing Drupal 7.4 But getting following error: File system The directory /sites/default/files/ is not writable.

For more information, see INSTALL.txt or the online handbook <http://drupal.org/server-permissions>. OK Unicode library PHP Mbstring Extension Error Settings file The settings file does not exist. The Drupal installer requires that you create a settings file as part of the installation process. Copy the /./sites/default/default.settings.php/ file to /./sites/default/settings.php/. More details about installing Drupal are available in INSTALL.txt <http://127.0.0.1/drupal-7.4/INSTALL.txt>. I did : chmod a+w sites/default mkdir sites/default/files chmod a+w sites/default/files And also this: cp sites/default/default.settings.php sites/default/settings.php chmod a+w sites/default/settings.php Even then the error remains as it is. I looked into drupal forum but no one has got proper solution. I'm installing it on Fedora 14. Can it be SELinux issue? Because I'm getting working whenever i click on "proceed with installation" Thanks. -- Chetan Arvind Patil, +919970018364-- Chetan Arvind Patil, +919970018364
