Appgini cant write to this folder please select a folder you have write access to

[urichard]

Hi,

I'm trying to regenerate my Appgini database code from Appgine into the same folder in htdocs but every time i get "Appgini cant write to this folder please select a folder you have write access to"

Which then makes me to delete the whole folder and redo the whole thing from scratch.

I would really like to use the turtoiseGit and not have to delete the folder the whole time.

I have tried clicking on properties and read-only uncheck but when I open the file properties again it again is checked, I tried going to file properties/security and changing all the securities to administrator full access but still get the same problem, this is very annoying.

What am I doing wrong?

Kind Regards,
Richard

try to generate in a subfolder, use htdocs/app
this way if you want to work on other apps, each are in their location.
See how that works for you, this is what I do.

One more thing, check if you have windows defender ransom ware (tamper) protection on, it could be blocking your access.

Thanks Ahmed, this seemed to do the trick, but now im struggling to push pull fetch using tortoise Git if you have any knowledge or how to overcome this small issue please see the post here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4827&p=19783#p19783

Appreciate the help

Kind Regards,

this sounds like a permissions issue you can try running sudo chmod 755 or going straight to the directory and changing writing permissions, hope that helps.

I encountered the same issue when trying to generate the files with new version of Appgini 24.16, trying to overwrite the files generated by old version of Appgini (about 2 years ago).

The write permission issue would not happen when trying to overwrite the files generated by the new version (24.16).

Why is this so?

I discovered this issue when I tried to make some new changes to an old app that I created by Appgini quite a long time ago, by regenerating the app with new version of Appgini that I use today.

You can replicate this issue by downloading the old ORPM (or other sample demo apps), where most of the files inside the folder are having date of 14 July 2021, then use Appgini to open the "online rental property manager.axp" file, and generate the files to the same folder. If you download the new version of ORPM, this issue will not happen when you generate and overwrite the files in its "app" folder.
