I am sure this is more of a permissions issue than a "site notes" specific issue, so please forgive my posting. However, I have searched the forms to no avail. any ideas on settings? I currently have the web-root set to 777 this did not fix the error. So, I am not sure where to go next.

I get this error when attempting to create a new site note.

Thank you.

Hmm, Sitenotes doesn't do a fopen by itself. I'm not sure where it would be called. Does the message indicate which directory it is trying to open?

The only thing I can suggest beyond that is to disable other modules one at a time until the problem goes away. The last one you disabled would be the culprit and would give you a better idea of which directory to change.

I do know that some hosts set the "files" directory (and sub-directories) to 644, but that won't work. I change the permissions to 777.

If your host is one of those who default you to "safe" mode, check with them on how to turn that off.

When you have time to work on this, reopen the issue.
