From 59f591e5b7d001ff3823afb4fbdb82839a0d2a07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mickaelburggraeve9-wq Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 05:14:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Document required write permissions for modules/ and public/ext/ MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The addon/module system (Admin → Addons) requires the webserver user to have write access to these two directories, but they aren't listed in the Permissions Errors section alongside bootstrap/, storage/logs/, etc. Installing an addon fails with "Failed to place addon: X" when this isn't set up, which isn't obvious from the current docs. --- docs/getting-started/installation.md | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/docs/getting-started/installation.md b/docs/getting-started/installation.md index b61606ba..b0309b57 100644 --- a/docs/getting-started/installation.md +++ b/docs/getting-started/installation.md @@ -135,3 +135,12 @@ These directories need to be writable: - `storage/framework/session` - `storage/framework/views` + +If you use the addon/module system (Admin → Addons), these two directories +also need to be writable by your webserver user.
