Hi @malakwal,

The error “ Installation failed: Could not create directory”. Indicates that you have the wrong permissions or ownership configured for your website.

To fix the permission issue, you can run the following command :

find /path/to/website -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find /path/to/website -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

Please remember to change the /path/to/website with your actual DocumentRoot.

To change the ownership of a folder or a file, you can execute the following command

chown -R user:user /path/to/website

You’ll need to change the user:user bit with the actual User you have your Xampp configured with.
