"Plugin was not successfully copied. This may be a permissions problem. Please make sure that the web server is able to write to the plugins directory (including subdirectories) but don't forget to secure it again later."

I am in the Plugin Gallery, and when I click “install” next to QuickSubmit, I receive this message:

“Plugin was not successfully copied. This may be a permissions problem. Please make sure that the web server is able to write to the plugins directory (including subdirectories) but don’t forget to secure it again later.”

I also receive this message when I try upgrading others (I tried it with COinS and Translator)

I am using version 3.1.0.1.

Hi @jaskoog

Most likely, as your log error message says, you need adjust/fix your system folder permissions allowing server user (e.g. www-data) having write permissions.

Ask your IT staff, if is not yourself, run a chmod with proper code to grant such permissions.
