Xenoforo Directory Permissions

I’m confused on how to do this can someone explain. I’m on windows 10 using file zilla as an ftp.

If you receive this message, open your FTP client and navigate to your XenForo root directory (the directory your created earlier). You should see the data and internal_data directories. You will need to change permissions on these two directories.

In Linux, these should be “chmod 0777”. You can generally do this via your FTP client by making sure that the directory has read, write, and execute permissions for user, group and world. In Windows/IIS, you need to grant the “Full Control” permission to the IUSR_ account.

Once complete, refresh the installer. If changed correctly, the error message regarding directories not being writable should disappear.

I recommend using the online file manager for this - you can simply click on the two folders and give permission to do everything (write, execute, read = 777).
