Hi,

Hmm, the file should be writeable. As a quick fix, just chmod 666 all the files in the defs directory and then re-run the upgrade.

Cheers,

Alex

I had the same problem. Turns out the files in that directory somehow belonged to root on my installation and not the user the server was running as or I was logged in as when I last installed the program. Anyway, I changed ownership/permissions of the file and the install ran fine.

Hi,
It's a problem for those who don't have root permissions to modify some of those files in G/T 2.05.

Thanks
