Permission issue

[jnsgioia]

Hello,

I have three websites with thirty bees installed.  Two of them (the first two I created) after upgrading to 1.6.0 have this error on the configuration page: "Set write permissions for the "modules" folder and subfolders."  The third site does not have any error.  I have checked the write permissions and all sites are 755 and 644.  The reason I found this is the Printful module on one site is no longer syncing to Printful.  How can I resolve this problem?  Thank you for any help.

1) you have to check permissions for directory /modules/ and all it's subdirectories, recursively -- there may be some directory deep in the directory tree that doesn't have proper permissions

2) check ownership of the directories / files. Permission 755 means that only owner can write. Maybe some directory is owned by different user -- it needs to be owned by the user used by your php process.

Thank you, how do I check ownership?

I figured out how to check the ownership using filezilla.  I found that on both the sites with an error there is a file named .directory-upload which has an ownership of 0.  This file does not exist on the other site.  Is this an important file?  If not can I delete it?  If it is how do I change the ownership?

Thank you for your help.
