@pluto7777
Please take the advice of Corona688 and do not blindly change permissions to 777 on the advice from BeefStu. IMHO. It is the sign of a rank amateur and causes more problems than it ever fixes.
And ... in this case it is totally irrelevant to the question.

@pluto7777
Please expand considerably on the description of your problem, describing: what you did; what you expected to happen; and what actually happened (mentioning any error messages).
