  Hi All,
  
  When attempting to upgrade a Xanthia 2.0 theme to Xanthia 3.0, I'm getting this error:
  
  

  Quote

  
  Theme directory must be writable [theme_admin_upgrade] at line 1009 in file /var/www/sites/opencampus/dev/PN800_20070528/system/Theme/pnadmin.php
  

  
  
  I'm running the 20070528 SVN snapshot of MS3 and presently the theme directory matches the default themes' permissions, owner, and group (755, 505, and 506 respectively).
  
  Any ideas?

  Mark,
  
  When upgrading a theme more permissions are required than when simply using a theme. All theme directories need to be writable by the web server process - the permissions can be reset afterwards. The upgrade process creates a number of new files, cleans up some old ones and makes some changes to others (in particular to the templates).

  Thanks Mark,
  
  I had previous set my theme directory's permissions to 777, but continued to receive the error. After your posting here it occurred to me to set 777 permissions recursively *throughout* the theme's directory. That did the trick; thanks!
