Missing Directory in 0.9

Post by dirtwaterfox »

I downloaded 0.9 to do a clean install.

The process stops at the system check, because the directory, templates_c, is not writable.

Actually, it's not even there! Can I copy the 0.8 directory over?

Just create such a directory and chmod it so that the webserver can write to it (like 777).

It seems you extracted the 0.9 tarball without deflating empty directories, which is why you could be missing the dir.

Thanks.

I don't have ssh access to that particular server so I unpacked it with WinZip on my windows machine.

The 0.8 version had a file in that directory, so it unpacked.
