Mac Mojave v 10.14.6 - Permissions issues causing inability to install

📦 Install & Upgrade Help
1

Hello there,

I am running MAMP. I’ve followed all the instructions. I run into issues when I get to the permissions. I have tried numerous times to add the following - which is from the installation guide.

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data .
sudo chmod -R 755 .
sudo chmod -R 775 cache custom modules themes data upload
sudo chmod 775 config_override.php 2>/dev/null

However, this has little impact and continues to give me illegal group message.

My User is " raeger " and group "staff "

I am really lost as to how I should change this. Any guidance is appreciated.

Thanks
Martin

As the documentation states, that “www-data” needs to be replaced with the user and group that your web server is running under.

So if it the ones you say, you should be trying

sudo chown -R raeger:staff .
sudo chmod -R 755 .
sudo chmod -R 775 cache custom modules themes data upload
sudo chmod 775 config_override.php 2>/dev/null

Thanks, I did try that but was using the wrong user and group privileges. Now I have made it to the second page.

Thanks for the response.
