Re: permissions for installing updates etc.
Maybe something with my Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS LAMP configuration wrong for Joomla?

Re: permissions for installing updates etc.
Also problem with updating installed Version 3.5.4 to 3.5.5 with this message:
An error has occurred.
0 Cannot write to log file.
So I have to chown all directorys to www-data instead of root?

Re: permissions for installing updates etc.
The [new] error message that you've mentioned indicates there's a problem with the site /tmp directory (and also the /log folder, it would also appear). This may be something you need to discuss with your webhosting provider. Might I make a suggestion? If you provide us with the output from the Forum Post Assistant report tool, we might have a clearer picture of what's interfering with performing your update(s).

Re: permissions for installing updates etc.
The file permissions are incorrect as you set them, they should be 755 (folders) not 775 and 644 (files) not 664. Assuming what you stated was not a typo....dirkblogger wrote:made sudo chmod 775 and chmod 664 but get this now.
