Hello,

I've got a new install of Drupal 7 Beta 1, I copied over the CTools directory, and when I try to view the modules to enable it, I get this error message repeated 7 times on the top of the page, and ctools isn't listed at all in the list of available modules:

Warning: opendir(modules/ctools): failed to open dir: Permission denied in file_scan_directory() (line 1929 of /var/www/includes/file.inc).

Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

Nevermind... I just had to fix the permissions of the module directory and it worked just fine.

It's been a long time... I believe I changed the permissions of the files directory to 750 and that fixed it.

For this newbie, the issue was I misunderstood which directory it was complaining about the permissions on. I thought the issue was on /var/www/includes/file.inc . But it was sites/modules that needed fixing.
