  Directory and File Permissions

In order for Elxis to function correctly it needs to be able to access or write to certain files or directories. If you see "Unwriteable" you need to change the permissions on the file or directory to allow Elxis to write to it. Note: If you enable FTP later, Elxis will be functional even if some of these folders are read-only.
