Hi guys, I´m trying to install in Windows with PHP 5.4 but I´m receiving this message in the process of install. Quote: Mautic is unable to write your configuration file to the appropriate location. Please check your filesystem permissions to ensure the following path is writable: . I already tried to give permissions to root path as well c:windowstemp to user (IUSR), but did not work. Someone could to assist me with this? Best regards. ---

I have no idea how Windows file permissions work, so I cannot assist you with that, but if you want so save Mautic’s configuration, Mautic has to have the write permission to app/config/local.php. Hope that helps. ---
