However, it may not work in all deployments orĮxample, if the Drupal server has a locked-down configuration, then it may encounter permission errors This is the easiest way for a new administrator. For example, in a Linux workstation, one might say: On the CiviCRM download page, click the link for CiviCRM / Drupal 7.You may adapt based your server's arrangement.

With, e.g: sudo chmod u+w web/sites/default.įor multisite installations you'll also need to ensure your web server user has write access to additional sites e.g: sudo chmod u+w web/sites/. It is critical that your web-server user is able to write to the web/sites/default/ directory in order to create and that you have an appropriate value for execution time(s) and memory limit(s) as any interruption to the installer can (and will) result in an unusable install and require remedial steps to correct or a full reinstall! By default on Drupal 9 this directory path is not writable by default, before installing you should ensure you grant write access to your web server user. If you need to configure any of these options, then use the command-line installer.
