Question [Merged Topic] JFolder::create: Could not create directory

please any one know how to avoid this then please reply me.

* JFolder::create: Could not create directory
* Component Install: Failed to create directory.: "/Library/WebServer/Documents/Aetat.info/administrator/components/com_kunena"

Please post your support requests and questions for the community in the appropriate categories of our site. Dis discussion if for comment about a recent blog post about site updates. Thx!

PS: You problem is permissions related. The permissions in your folders are incorrect, that's why joomla fails trying to install a new component.

Installation com_kunena_v1.6.0_b3620_2010-10-03 processed without any problems. All worked good exept an error message "JFolder::create: Could not create directory" in all pages with forum. On witch folders I must made permissions to escape this problem?

Answer: all folders.

See Securing Kunena

Witch folders using Kunena? And need to be 777 or may be 775? Thank you

please help me!
I found that possible problem with folders for avatars, but any idea where is it...

The directory for avatar aren't created on each kunena page, check this directories and all the subdirectories :

/media/kunena
/administrator/components/com_kunena
/components/com_kunena

It work now! Thank you very much!
But here one more q... It is bad for security if I changed permissions to 777 for all this folders? And if yes how to escape this problems?

No - never use 777 on any folder on any webserver. Its a bandaid to a different underlying problem.

You should be running 644 on most or all folders, but what you need to check is what is the userid and group of your apache server user. You then need to make sure that user is the owner of all files within the httpdocs folder of your server. Lets assume your server uses 'apache' as the user and 'apache' as the group.

JUST AN EXAMPLE:
You would run a recursive against the content of httpdocs as well as
But you need to replace userid and group with the actual one from your server.

777 means that any and all processes on that server can write and change your website.

As an alternative you can configure Joomla to use ftp to access the underlying file system - in case you cannot change the users to the apache id and group. Please see the Joomla documentation on how to configure and turn this on.

Hope this helps!
