[Resolved] Upgrade to 1.10 - CMS thinks modules not writable

[Dramatic]

I've completed a trial upgrade from 1.9.4.3 to 1.10.3 on my own site, and it has been successful EXCEPT in the modules manager I am getting the warning:

Code: Select all

The modules folder (and/or the uploads folder) is not writable, if you would like to install modules by uploading an XML file you need ensure that these folders have full read/write/execute permissions (chmod 777). Safe mode may also be in effect. (Troubleshooting)

The permissions for modules, uploads and tmp directories are all 777 and safe mode is definitely off. This is on a Plesk system on CentOS.

What else could cause this?

It is possible the path is wrong and therefore it is not seeing the correct modules and uploads directories.

I don't know Plesk but you might have to reset the ownership of the folders and then chmod them to 777 again!

Thanks Simon, that was indeed the problem - html did not get changed to httpdocs in my recent server migration, and I guess older versions didn't contain that error message.
