Magento – “Failed to mkdir” Error

 Magento – “Failed to mkdir” Error

---

Many times when you try to install a new theme or application from
"Magento Connect Manager” , you may encounter the error :

ERROR: failed to mkdir

To fix this issue follow the below steps :

root@server[#] cd /home/username/public_html/downloader root@server[#] vi config.ini

It will show something like this :

preferred_state=stable use_custom_permissions_mode=1 mkdir_mode=0777 chmod_file_mode=0777 chmod_file_mode_executable=0777 tmp_dir=../var/tmp

Now make the below changes :

preferred_state=stable use_custom_permissions_mode=0 mkdir_mode=0777 chmod_file_mode=0777 chmod_file_mode_executable=0777 tmp_dir=../var/tmp

That’s all you are done.
