I have been getting a pop up box with a message like the following when I try to initialize or modify modules.  This only happens occasionally and I cannot always reproduce it.  The images directory is empty.   Can you help? Warning: scandir(C:/xampp-portable/htdocs/igc/private/images/BMHdGCt9uH9belSIqNRvhCSzJ1U,C:/xampp-portable/htdocs/igc/private/images/BMHdGCt9uH9belSIqNRvhCSzJ1U): Access is denied.

Hi there kcpau Please could you check the permissions on the public, private and cache directories under C:/xampp-portable/htdocs/igc/ Those directories, and all of the sub-directories and files in them, need to be writable.

I am using xampp on Windows and I cannot unset the Read-Only flag from the Explorer.  According to Microsoft support, this is a feature, not a bug.  So I assume that when I move it to a Linux server it should be okay. If you know of any trick to unset the flag, please let me know.

To be honest we mostly test on UNIX and Linux servers; it's quite infrequent we try to use a Windows server. I don't know if this will help, but whenever I do need to install on a Windows server, I always install cygwin first as it makes things a lot easier. E.g. if I was you I would:

  • install cygwin at C:/cygwin/
  • install xampp at C:/cygwin/xampp/
  • install Zenario under that, e.g. C:/cygwin/xampp/htdocs/zenario-7.0.7/
Then finally you can use one of the terminal apps that come with cygwin (e.g. mintty) and try running something like chmod 777 /xampp/htdocs/zenario-7.0.7/images/ That might help sort things out.
