Destination folder not writable

Hi,

I have a script that I used to host on WAMP, but recently moved to lcoalwp. But whenever I try to run it, I get the following error:

Destination folder “C:\Users\Jack\Desktop\image” not writable.

I tried many methods I found online via google, none is working. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi @Jay1 - thanks for writing in! What type of methods have you tried to get around this so far? Generally speaking, this is usually because you don’t have proper permissions on the folder you have selected as the Destination. So you either need to change the permissions on the folder or choose a different destination folder.

I found a few articles online saying I need to change php.ini values, which I did, but not working.

I also moved the folder under wp-content/upload, still getting the same error.

I checked the permission of the folder, SYSTEM, User, Administrators all have read and write, which is why the script is working when ran from WampServer.

Do you know what user or group is localwp running under? Maybe I need to add it.

Nvm, I figured out a workaround for this. Thanks Nick.
