Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /home/alertaam/public_html/modules/mod_janews/helper.php on line 106

Can you give me a hand how to solve this?

The component is trying to create a directory but the servers permissions are preventing it from doing so.

Curing this problem depends on your host. If you have root access and are using a linux/apache setup then changing the ownership of the folder to one that the server has permissions to write to is the most secure way using a command such as (an this is for my setup, may be different on others) chown -R www-data.www-data /mydirectory

The user www-data is then the owner and group of that folder (you will need the correct path to the folder you need permissions for) and that user is the server who has the correct permissions to create files and folders in that folder. The -R switch makes the change recursive so all subfolders have the same settingd. This method is probably the most secure as you are not opening the folder to other users.

If you do not have root access you will probably have to use an ftp app to set the folder to 755 or 777 depending on your servers settings.

Hi,

What Phill tells you is wright.

Go to cpanel > File Manager > Open public html > Open the folders where the permissions are 755 and change them to 777.

Each folder at a time until you see that all folders in the system information > help > directory permissions on the admin panel are writable.

That is it.

Good luck!

If you set them to 777 you will also set your self up to be vulnerable to outside attacks and will have to change back to 755 after the changes are made.
