Ok! so I have finally upgraded to Magento 1.9 from Magento 1.7 through cPanel files, it seems to work well until I tried to upload a picture then it comes up ' the directory is not writable by server' I know this is a permission thing.
what file do I have to change permission for to get this working?
Thank you in advance.
Set 775 permissions to media and var folders recursively.
Use The following commands to set permissions, I hope so it's help you
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find ./var -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
find ./media -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
chmod 777 ./app/etc
chmod 644 ./app/etc/*.xml
