MCM - CONNECT ERROR: Can’t write to file:

Dorgo Total Posts: 127 Joined: 2008-12-16 Ignore user	Posting again here. Mistakenly posted to Magento Connect forum Just installed a fresh 1.5 and went to install the Australia extension by fontis through magento connect manager. Chose the new 2.0 key http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/Fontis_Australia `Checking dependencies of packages Installing package community/Fontis_Australia 2.0.7 CONNECT ERROR: Cant write to file: /home/xxxxxx/public_html/downloader/.cache/community/Fontis_Australia-2.0.7/app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/fontis/australia/system/config/form/field/array_dropdown.phtml` I am running suEXEC and I checked ownership and permissions (644 files, 755 directories) I checked the .cache/community directory that gets created and noticed it has 777 permissions even though I have set the new custom permissions within MCM.... Previously I installed via shell with pear. Is this still possible now that pear has been removed?

Dorgo Total Posts: 127 Joined: 2008-12-16 Ignore user	Brent W Peterson - 21 April 2011 07:04 AM did you take out the .cache from your path? Not sure what you mean. There is no fontis directory in /app/code/community/ ....?
