Error installing / updating: Cannot create directory [#1144690]

I get the following warning and can't upgrade the module to 7.x.1.2 from 7.x.1.1.

google_analytics
•Error installing / updating
•File Transfer failed, reason: Cannot create directory /public_html/sites/all/modules/google_analytics

Has anyone else had this issue? How do I fix this so I can upgrade?

Try 'chown -R apache sites' or 'chown -R www-data sites'. It fixed a lot of issues for me.

You're right -- I did chown -R www-data:www-data drupal, now I can update in Drupal. Thanks!
