mkdir gives permission denied error...

I am trying to create a folder using mkdir on my computer but it doesn't create the folder and gives me the following warning:

So I try to use chmod but it wouldn't work as well with the following:

So what to I do now?

 

What OS you are using?

 

do you have write permission to the folder that you are trying to create a sub-folder in?

 

I have windows XP pro and apparently I don't have write permission.

How can I give it write permission? On servers I use ftp software but I never changed the permission on my own computer and don't know how.


.

 

right click folder, go to properties and uncheck readonly attribute thats it

 

Also: are you using Apache or IIS?

If it's IIS, you may need to give the IIS user write permissions on the directory, too.

 

you may need your admin's help in this one - not everyone has full rights to the file system.

 

Acutually I have IIS installed. How can I change the permission for IIS?

 

Oh IIS sucks, y don't you run php on apache, if you also run asp.net or asp you can make apache work on port 8080, I also used php with IIS, I was so problematic that I shifted to apache in two days and never installed IIS again.

 

Phew...
After checking and unchecking tens of chekcboxes on tens of dialogue boxes I managed to get it working.

Your right designcode, I have to swich back to apache.
