Magento

Hello@all,

i have the problem that i have only FTP Deployment in my Magento Connect Manager.

The point “Local Filesystem” is inactive.

Are there any changes from Magento 1.4 -> 1.5.1?

Local filesystem being inactive is possibly caused by a permissions error, check that your magento folder has the right permissions and owner

Facing same problem; can you please be more specific on folder/file permission. All files/folders have the exact write permission already.

Do you know specifically which directories need write permission?

thanks!

The problem is comes in checkout.xml file when you are upgrading to Magento 1.4.1 to Magento 1.5.1.This file located in app/design/frontend/base/defualt/layout/”yourththemehere”/checkout.xml. By removing this error you have a multiple option that is replace the checkout.xle file in the default theme foleder and than overwrite it in your theme.Make a point remove the Magento cache memory .The changes is done after flush the Magento Cache.

I just had the exact same problem. After spending two hours, I just changed permissions of the parent directories of my magento installation to 777 and now filesystem is active.

FYI you need to set write permissions to these directories:

app/code/community
app/etc/modules
downloader

Maybe var as well.

Magento Filesystem Permissions

If you wish to use web based downloader for installation, upgrades or MagentoConnect extensions installation, you will need to have write permissions on ALL magento files including the root Magento folder.

Files and folders will need to be returned to 655 non-writable permissions after installation.[...]
