I tried several times to create the folder and give the permission "chmod 777 .. 755 .." "but it's still not ..

  • There are many reasons why PHP might not be able to write to a data directory, from open basedir restrictions to SELinux. The folder permissions are often just a small part of the puzzle.

    Unfortunately these reasons are server specific. I suggest that you ask your hosting provider:

    "What do I do to allow PHP to write to this directory?"

    Good hosting providers will help as the question is not actually application specific.

  • Thank you for the reply

    I was successful install  :)
