              Make sure the permissions on the directories give write permission and that there’s at least read permissions all the way to the top of the docroot. I.E., if a dir one level up is not readable by the web user, you’ll see this problem.

                Okay. I may be a no0b at MODx but give me some credit. I’ve been coding site’s since 15 years of age. Lol. I know that doesn’t mean shit but I at least know that...

                • Coding does not a server admin make.

                    Look, I’ve already done all the above, just so I wouldn’t embarrass myself with something as minimalistic as a stupid permisssions error.

                    • Sounds like you’ve got it under control then. You’d be surprised how frequently that happens.
