I had made sure that that directory had 0755 permissions before the install and verified that it was still. Since it was php that needed the permissions, I chown user.group of the web service for /files and the install continued without issue. I didn't notice that detail in the docs. My question is: Is /files the only directory that needs web service ownership? Thanks Title Comments During the install I got the error that '/files' needed to be writable.
