What files & folders need to be writable for Auto Upgrade?

[brightboss]

I logged into my OSClass install and admin panel notified me that I need to upgrade from 2.3.6 to 2.3.7 and it could not update due write permissions. This message was understandable. I just want to know what files and folders need to be writable for this to work? Does it need to have all files and folders or just specific ones. I would appreciate the clarification. Thanks.

All files and folders should be writable in order to perform correctly the upgrade.

do all the folders need to be set to 777? When I tried setting it to what error message says the script stops working error 505.

Just folders or files?

Thanks

Hi dtcllc,

Set your folders to 755 and files to 644. Most shared hosting sites will give you an error if you set your folders at 777 or 775.
