Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in /var/www/vtiger/includes/runtime/Viewer.php on line 58

Answer 1

SSH to your server and do the following:

cd /var/www
chown -R www-data:www-data .

Make sure you run the chown command in the www folder or vtiger folder if you wish, it is really important that you do not run the command from the root, as it could be catastrophic. This should resolve your issue.

Answer 2

When you change the directory permissions to 777 for the /test directory this problem is solved.
