Not expert at *nix envoirements but I believe you need to chmod 777 some directories.

And prepare to get hacked. I’d seriously advise against it. It’s the same as giving Everyone Full Control on Windows.

The minimum you should need is "chmod u+rwX,go-rwx" on the MODx/webroot directory, and "chown <webserver_user>". This gives the owner read/write on files and read/write browse on directories - and nobody else anything.

Personally I have "chmod ug+rwX" and "chown <webserver_user>:<webserver_group" which allows the web server user and it’s primary login group the above permissions. I then add my own user account as a member of the <webserver_group> and I get access. Nobody else has anything.

Thanks guys I thought as I had w&r to /XXXX all was good.
I created a symbolic link to home/public_html/XXXX in /var/www with sudo

I have now changed /XXXX to 777.

I am not sure what user Web-server uses so not sure what to set perms to as is only on home machine no other users am I at risk.
