8,411 PointsHi Flurin Dürst,
Thanks for taking the time to help me. I appreciate it.
What i cant find is where the PHP file wants to create folder in that it doenst have permission to.
So basically i dont know what folder i should be changing the permissions.
If you could help on that, I'd be super gratefull.
Thanks a lot!
