Hey folks,
It’s a fresh dolibarr install and I’m attempting to install the Commercial proposal management Module and I get “Cannot create dir /srv/www/htdocs/dolibarr/documents/propale/temp”.
Clues? Thanks!
I get the same error for Invoices Module.
Most modules seem to work, though.

Simple 3-Step Solution
Abstract: You need to set the owner of the directory to the user that PHP uses (web server user).
Step 1: Determine PHP User
Create a PHP file containing the following:
<?php echo `whoami`; ?\> Upload it to your web server. The output should be similar to the following: www-data Therefore, the PHP user is www-data. Step 2: Determine Owner of Directory Next, check the details of the web directory via the command line: ls -dl /var/www/example.com/public_html/example-folder The result should be similar to the following: drwxrwxr-x 2 exampleuser1 exampleuser2 4096 Mar 29 16:34 example-folder Therefore, the owner of the directory is exampleuser1. Step 3: Change Directory Owner to PHP User Afterwards, change the owner of the web directory to the PHP user: sudo chown -R www-data /var/www/example.com/public_html/example-folder Verify that the owner of the web directory has been changed: ls -dl /var/www/example.com/public_html/example-folder The result should be similar to the following: drwxrwxr-x 2 www-data exampleuser2 4096 Mar 29 16:34 example-folder Therefore, the owner of example-folder has successfully been changed to the PHP user: www-data. Done! PHP should now be able to write to the directory. shareimprove this answer edited Apr 25 '18 at 15:37 answered Mar 30 '18 at 0:18 Grant Miller 7,4921313 gold badges4040 silver badges63 ///\\\ This shit worked.
