I've installed Drupal for the first time, which seems to have gone smoothly.
I am now trying to install the Paypal Module, I want to try the subscription one but I believe I need both the Paypal Framework installed first. (http://drupal.org/project/paypal_framework and http://drupal.org/project/paypal_subscription)
I've downloaded the paypal framework Zip, gone to my drupal site, and selected to install a new module > found the zip file > Install
I get 2 error messages here:
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in DrupalLocalStreamWrapper->mkdir() (line 628 of /homepages/XX/USERNAME/htdocs/drupal70/includes/stream_wrappers.inc).
paypal_framework-5.x-1.0.zip does not contain any .info files.
I have tried changing the permissions on the 'Files' folder under 'sites/default' to 777 but this doesn't seem to make any difference.
I also came across something on this forum that pointed to problems with the temp folder... which was also not being picked up.
I went into File System to change the temp directory (I'm on 1and1 hosting)
I changed it to /homepages/XX/USERNAME/temps
and that throws up 2 errors:
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in drupal_mkdir() (line 2244 of /homepages/XX/USERNAME/htdocs/drupal70/includes/file.inc).
The directory /homepages/XX/USERNAME/temps does not exist and could not be created.
