can't write to data/.backup/

[jamie]

I keep getting this error when trying to update extensions:

Error: Permission denied: data/.backup/extensions/690323356ab1d4a89

The permissions seem correct:

drwxrwxr-x 3 www-data www-data 4.0K Oct 30 08:30 .backup/
drwxrwxr-x 2 www-data www-data 4.0K Oct 30 08:29 backup/

What could be causing this?

Hi @jamie,

Please try to execute the following command in CLI from your EspoCRM instance directory:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data data

Also, you can review the following section of the configuration files; you can also change it if necessary:

'defaultPermissions' => [
'user' => 'www-data',
'group' => 'www-data',
],

where www-data is your web server user.
