Horrible time with WAMP, Joomla and Windows 7 (Permissions)
- by jax
I have WAMP and Joomla installed on Windows 7.
I have made a virtual host outside of the www directory that houses a test joomla site.
I have also made a joomla component that I want to install and test on this virtual host.
I am having constant problems with permissions. I have given all users full access to the folder containing the files under the security Tab in Win7. It seems to me that when (Apache/PHP) creates a file it put restrictions on the permissions which does not allow it to delete or edit the file anymore so I have to manually go and delete the files when I want to uninstall my component.
Also, I cannot install the .zip - instead I have to unzip manually to the tmp folder because when I upload the zip in the Joomla Installer I get the same permissions problems as above.
How can I get rid of these issues once an for all?
